At the 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), the UNEP Cool Coalition and the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC) are co-hosting the Buildings and Cooling Pavilion, a unified platform in the Blue Zone to spotlight the essential role of cooling and buildings in delivering on climate goals.

The Pavilion will bring together the full cooling and built environment value chain, serving as:

  • a convening space for policymakers, businesses, and practitioners;
  • a showcase of cutting-edge solutions and scalable implementation; and
  • a hub for cross-sector collaboration, innovation, and ambition.

Across the globe, communities are confronting the dual challenge of providing affordable housing—a human right that is central to the just transition, the SDGs, and the Paris Agreement—while ensuring resilience to climate and environmental risks. Echoing the upcoming Belém Call to Action of the Intergovernmental Council for Buildings and Climate (ICBC), to be launched and endorsed at the ICBC Ministerial during COP30, built environment initiatives are already demonstrating how affordability and sustainability can go hand in hand to make housing a driver of ecological transition, social justice, and climate adaptation.
