Wikipedia / Green building council

A Green Building Council (GBC) is any national non-profit, non-government organization that is part of a global network recognized by the World Green Building Council. A green building council's goal is to promote a transformation of the built environment towards one that is sustainable (buildings and cities that are environmentally sensitive, economically viable, socially just and culturally significant).

List of recognised GBCs

As of December 2022, there were at least 41 nations with established GBCs, 10 recognized as "emerging" members, 26 countries in the prospective category and 2 in the affiliate category.

The Green Building Council Russia formed in 2009 and is seeking Emerging Status. Growth in the CIS countries accompanies growth in the number of green construction projects in those countries, that is, those certified to LEED or BREEAM standard.
