UN includes buildings in global carbon reduction

摘要

The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has acknowledged the need for a unified approach to reporting and measuring carbon emissions from the built environment. In late 2010, Dr Gajanana Hegde from the UNFCCC's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) team, announced a shift in the UNFCCC's approach that would enable CDM participants to fully capitalise on the carbon-reduction potential of buildings.
