IGBC’s Mission on Net Zero

On Earth-day in 2021, IGBC launched ‘IGBC Mission on Net Zero’ with a vision ‘to facilitate India become one of the foremost countries in transforming to Net Zero by 2050’. A journey to achieve Net Zero buildings & built environments by 2050 in all aspects i.e., Energy, Water, Waste and Carbon. The mission facilitates adoption of Net Zero concepts to support market transformation towards total building sector decarbonisation. So far, more than 350 organisations from the Indian building sector have committed to achieve the Net Zero status for their new & existing buildings.

IGBC strongly believes that the Mission on Net Zero would have far reaching impacts on the built environment in the country. The key aspects of the Mission include – creating a National movement on Net Zero by engaging policy makers, corporates & academia, knowledge sharing with stakeholders, capacity building of professionals, and promoting eco-labelled and efficient technologies that would result in quantum jumps in carbon reduction.
