Both the Canada Green Building Council and U.S. Green Building Council are regarded
as Established Green Building Councils by WorldGBC, a status the organization defines as
"fully developed and operational organizations that run impactful green building programs
of work-delivering change on a national level, and embracing best practice governance,
accountability, and transparency."

Also in 2019, WorldGBC launched a call-to-action report-Bringing embodied carbon
upfront-during the UN Climate Action Summit and Climate Week NYC that further
emphasized these commitments. The report outlines the actions stakeholders must take over
the next three decades to achieve net zero, including "governments and cities developing
policy pathways and strategies to achieve net zero embodied carbon, investors only financing
projects that are compliant with carbon reduction targets, designers integrating low embodied
carbon design at the conceptual design stage, and materials manufacturers and suppliers
developing carbon reduction targets."

Among the details of the World Green Building Council's 2018/19 annual report was an
outline of the progress made by the organization's Advancing Net Zero (ANZ) global project,
the goal of which is a market transformation that ensures all buildings are net zero carbon
by 2050. The WorldGBC published its first ANZ status report in 2019 to emphasize the
world-leading activities that have resulted from the commitment of Green Building Councils in
70 countries to advancing the charge to a net zero future. The heart of ANZ is the Net Zero
Carbon Buildings Commitment, which challenges companies, cities, states, and regions to
reach net zero operating emissions in their global portfolios by 2030.
