The Liaison Committee is delighted to welcome Prof. David Ruggiero as the Chairperson and Dr. Edmundo de Werna as the Globe Senior Advisor.

GLOBE is the Global Consensus on Sustainability in the Built Environment. The Joint Committee on the GLOBE Consensus (JCGC) is dedicated to reducing Green House Gas (GHG) emissions from the construction sector.

GLOBE’s objective is to direct the attention of the global community, politicians, industry leaders, and societal decision-makers to the critical importance of the built environment for sustainable development at global and local scales. The JCGC was initiated in 2021 under the auspices of the Liaison Committee (LC) of the six International Associations of Civil Engineering: CIB, ECCS, fib, IABSE, IASS and RILEM.
