• A new building decarbonization road map from Climate Mayors and Veolia North America aims to help public and private stakeholders cut carbon emissions while reducing costs.
• The road map helps city officials establish baselines, set goals aligned with the Paris Agreement and state climate targets, secure funding and partnerships, create policy incentives and develop and train a work force that can help meet decarbonization objectives.
• The new guide “meets mayors where they’re at on building decarbonization and provides a comprehensive and clear step-by-step guide to what they should be doing,” said Climate Mayors Deputy Director Laura Jay.
•  

Buildings are responsible for about 40% of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions globally. Building decarbonization reduces these emissions through greater energy efficiency as well as by shifting heating, cooling, electricity and other building operations from fossil fuels to electrification and renewable energy.
