Health & Wellbeing Framework
WorldGBC's Health & Wellbeing Framework catalyses social impact across the entire built environment value chain
Grounded in the UN’s Global Goals for Sustainable Development, the WorldGBC’s Health & Wellbeing Framework drives healthy and equitable buildings in harmony with nature.
After a multi-year global consultation, WorldGBC's Heath & Wellbeing Framework offers a comprehensive educational tool for a healthy and equitable built environment.
Convening expertise across the built environment, health and human rights, the Framework is published as an executive report and live digital tool. An innovation of this work is a cross-sectoral analysis across the entire building and construction lifestyle — redefining the scope of health for all people and their buildings, cities and communities.
With the COVID-19 pandemic bringing the link between the built environment and human health into focus, the Framework’s six principles span indoor air quality, human rights in the supply chain, climate change resilience and more.
