This brief provides highlights from an ADB clinic on designing green and resilient buildings.
Buildings are responsible for 40% of energy use emissions globally, and approximately a third of end-use energy consumption and emissions in Southeast Asia. With 56% of the region's population expected to live in cities by 2030, building floor space in Southeast Asia is projected to double by 2060 versus 2020.
This brief provides highlights from the Green and Resilient Buildings in ASEAN Cities clinic organized by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
The clinic provided a sector overview and explored ways to create an enabling environment in designing and developing green and resilient buildings. The event took place in Singapore, renowned for its leadership in green high-rise developments.
The event is part of the ASEAN Catalytic Green Finance Facility (ACGF) Innovative Finance Clinics, developed by the Southeast Asia Green Finance Hub in collaboration with other ADB departments, ACGF partners, and ASEAN governments. The clinics bring together government officials, experts, financiers, and other stakeholders to identify and enhance capacity for bankable project opportunities.
