As world leaders and delegates meet in Brazil for the United Nations’ global climate summit, COP30, many countries that have submitted new emissions commitments to 2035 have shown increased ambition.

But unless these efforts are scaled up substantially, current global temperature trends are projected to significantly exceed the Paris Agreement target that aims to keep warming well below 2°C.

When it comes to product sustainability, transparency is everything. That’s why GECA, Australia’s trusted ecolabel for products and services, has partnered with Rebuilt, the fast-growing carbon tech innovator making verified product carbon claims simple, credible, and affordable. 

We spoke with Esther Bailey, COO of Rebuilt, to unpack how this collaboration is helping the building and interiors products sector shift from ambition to action, without drowning in data or blowing the budget. 

The world is in deep trouble on climate change, but if we really put our shoulder to the wheel we can turn things around. Loosely, that’s the essence of today’s report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

GECA's primary purpose is to create solutions for sustainable consumption and production. One critical part of this is to assess the main drivers and threats in the Australian building sector and explore how we can catalyse the reduction of carbon emissions.

GECA is thrilled to be one of over 41 leading companies to have joined forces with the NSW Government and WWF-Australia in a new coalition to decarbonise Australia’s building and construction industry.

A landmark new plan sets out a practical pathway for transforming Australian homes, workplaces and other buildings into low carbon, high-performance structures while cost-effectively reducing emissions.

GECA is a signatory to the World Green Building Council’s bold new vision for how buildings and infrastructure around the world can achieve 100% net zero emissions buildings by 2050.
