The Network
The vision of the 2030 Districts Network is to establish a global network of thriving high-performance building districts and cities, uniting communities to catalyze transformation in the built environment and its role in mitigating and adapting to climate change.
Each District commits to meeting 50-65% reductions in energy, water, and transportation-related emissions as established by Architecture 2030 in its 2030 Challenge for Planning as seen to the right:
Accelerating to Zero – Beyond 2030
In the fall of 2022, the Network adopted this new goal:
The 2030 Districts Network provides critical leadership and resources to reduce emissions in the entire built environment by 50-65% by 2030 and reach zero emissions by 2040.
The 2030 Districts Network leads building sector efforts to achieve these urgent goals through a just and equitable transition and aligns its goals with current climate science.
The 2030 Districts Network collaborates with its members to drive down energy and water use, building and transportation related emissions and promote healthy buildings. Accelerating to Zero emissions requires energy efficiency, electrification, clean grids, reduced embodied emissions, and advocating for building codes, policies and incentives that promote a resilient and vibrant future for all.
