How is GBPN funded?
At GBPN we’re able to reform building policy and reduce emissions through funding, grants and philanthropic endeavours. We’re extremely ambitious in our goals, recognising that to truly change the way we build, we must transfer global insights into local action.
Our donors are just as ambitious — playing a huge role in driving GBPN forward; enabling us to strive for zero-emissions in the building sector and improve the health and well-being of residents in the fastest urbanising regions. This is supported by growing government and industry contracts, subscriptions and sponsorship.
Sustainable building practices and policy reform influences more than climate change. We believe the quality of life of residents today is just as important as shaping tomorrow. Effective reform in the building sector improves health, productivity, opportunity and the economy.
It's why philanthropy across health, education, sustainability and renewables is also critical to our success.

Why become a donor to GBPN
GBPN is the world’s leading independent organisation committed to immediate change in the buildings sector through policy reform. We put policy reform into action. We do this by focusing on the regions where we will have the biggest impact, working collaboratively with governments to realise projects and goals.
Through impact philanthropy donors are able to support specific projects and opportunities that are most relevant. Whether it is a local initiative or a pioneering piece of research, GBPN donors have a unique understanding of the projects, metrics and goals that their philanthropic support is realising.
The shift to sustainable building practices and low-carbon buildings is crucial across so many fronts. Climate change, quality of life and future economies will depend on it. Policy reform will lead the way in a trillion-dollar industry, providing the impetus, savings and innovation to drive employment and growth.
Join us and together we can build change.
In warmer climates like Asia — better, healthier buildings will drastically improve the thermal comfort of residents — creating a consistent, stable environment without relying on expensive, energy-intensive solutions, including air conditioning.
Building policies are the fastest, least-cost way to reduce GHG emissions in the entire effort to manage climate change
