Project Description

The IFC-UK Market Accelerator for Green Construction Global Program will contribute to GHG emission reductions by enhancing IFC’s green building certification system and stimulating the increase of green building certification. Activities will include private sector capacity building with developers, designers and financial intermediaries and EDGE platform maintenance and development. IFC’s EDGE green building certification system and free design application is central to the Program as a design tool, an educational aid, and an affordable certification method which can recognize different levels of ambition, right up to Zero Carbon emissions.
