Decarbonisation Strategies

As signatories to the World Green Building Council, AESG is committed to supporting both the public and private sectors in achieving global Net Zero Carbon Emission targets. In response to the urgent need to combat climate change, our Decarbonisation Strategies services provide organisations with the expertise and solutions required to significantly reduce their carbon footprints and foster sustainable growth.

Why Decarbonisation Strategies Are Essential

Governments worldwide, adhering to the COP21 Paris Agreement, are collectively striving to maintain global warming below 2°C, in alignment with the recommendations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The tangible effects of climate change have compelled governments to develop long-term greenhouse gas emission strategies and climate change adaptation plans across various sectors, including the built environment, transportation, and industries. These initiatives are fundamental in managing and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, ensuring a sustainable future for all.

However, existing built assets present a significant challenge to the net zero agenda. Many structures require deep retrofits to meet zero carbon performance criteria, necessitating specialised engineering and advisory services to facilitate this transformation. AESG’s sustainability team is adept at developing efficient Decarbonisation Strategies at building, estate, and portfolio levels, ensuring that organisations can navigate the complexities of carbon reduction with confidence and efficacy.
