PARTNERS

We understand the importance of collaboration to achieve large-scale impact. We have joined forces with networks and allies from around the world, working with partners on research and implementation.

Research Partners

Research Partners bring world-class academic knowledge and technical advances to the fight against climate change through policy reform in the buildings sector. These partnerships are critical to capture and apply new ideas, knowledge and practice to real-world settings.

Implementation Partners

Implementation partners, at local or national level, bring knowledge and understanding of the buildings sector and policy landscape as they play out in their own community and country context.

They may be grassroots organisations, cooperatives, small businesses, or government agencies, who best understand the issues at stake. Applying our incubation approach, we aim to support, enhance and share learnings, skills, and capacities with partners in ways that allow them and communities to unleash their full potential.
