Through projects and initiatives, such as: the Development of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) for Building Sector in Asia; the Sustainable Social Housing Initiative pilot projects; the Sustainable Buildings and Construction Programme under the 10 Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production; the work of UNEP- Finance Initiative on financing for Energy Efficiency in Buildings, and guidance of the Energy Efficiency Accelerators under the Sustainable Energy for All platform, UNEP is providing leadership in the area of buildings and climate change, and providing policy support and technical assistance to countries and sub-national jurisdictions. UNEP also is recognized as a convener and has worked with a number of partners to foster dialogue and coordinate activities and programmes through a growing number of recognized platforms across sectors that are highly relevant to climate change. UNEP is collaborating with the government of France (as host of COP-21) and other building sector stakeholder organizations to elevate the visibility of the building sector to climate negotiators and to assist in development and implementation of an alliance among key stakeholder organizations to support jurisdictions to identify and implement actions in the sector which will result in climate change mitigation. The Alliance is envisioned to provide a coordination role among partners and initiatives to assist in delivery of actions against climate objectives in the building sector post-cop. The Alliance will be formally managed as a project within UNEP s Division for Technology, Industry and Economics (UNEP-DTIE) and will be closely coordinated with other building sector initiatives, including work in both the Energy, Climate and Technology Branch, and in the Sustainable Lifestyles, Cities and Industry Branch. These activities will be supervised by a senior programme officer, and supported through the input of technical experts in relevant initiatives (e.g. UNEP-SBCI, 10YFP, EE Accelerators, UNEP-FI).
