New WorldGBC Secretariat

The World Green Building Council is thrilled to announce the selection of Toronto as the home of the WorldGBC secretariat.

Housed inside the Living City Campus, the 350 person, 50 year old NGO that is being developed by the Toronto Regional Conservation authority, the WorldGBC will locate staff and direct our efforts from this world class city inside a LEED Gold building.

Chairman Kevin Hydes states "The decision to move our operations to Toronto was made based on working with a world class team that can support our efforts as we rapidly build capacity to meet global demand for green building councils.

This partnership will help accelerate our organization to reach our target of 100 Green Building Councils in three years and help transform local construction marketplaces globally.

We look forward to bringing our existing and emerging councils as well as friends and supporters to Toronto in July.

As a C40 and a Clinton Climate City, Toronto provides critical synergies with this global community for the WorldGBC through our partnership with Clinton Climate Initiative and now the City of Toronto."
