International Day of Clean Energy: Building a Sustainable Future
The International Day of Clean Energy serves as a powerful reminder of how vital clean, renewable energy is for future generations. Established by the United Nations General Assembly, this day highlights a simple but critical truth: protecting our energy resources is essential to safeguarding the planet for those who come after us.
As caretakers of the environment, we must account for the long‑term consequences of relying on non‑renewable fuel sources. Our energy choices have a direct impact on ecosystems, air quality, and climate stability. While the challenge is significant, meaningful progress is possible, especially when individuals, organizations, and governments are willing to embrace change. By understanding our environmental footprint and adopting more sustainable practices, we can work toward a future where clean energy is not the exception but the standard.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), energy‑related carbon dioxide emissions are forecasted to decline by 2.2% in 2026 compared to 2025, driven by decreases in the consumption of coal, natural gas, and petroleum products. Looking further ahead, official U.S. government projections released in January 2025 indicate that net greenhouse gas emissions could fall by 29–46% by 2030. This progress reflects a combination of federal policy, state‑level initiatives, technological innovation, and market‑driven shifts across key sectors—including energy, transportation, buildings, and industry. The path forward is clear: prioritizing clean and renewable energy is essential for the United States to meet its long‑term climate objectives.
At CodeGreen we help this initiative of cleaner energy. Through services focused on energy efficiency and decarbonization, our teams provide technical analysis, energy modeling, system design, commissioning, and renewable energy solutions aimed at reducing emissions and improving performance across the built environment. In addition, CodeGreen offers end‑to‑end management of green building certifications for both new and existing facilities. Our expertise spans programs such as LEED, FGBC, Parksmart, Fitwel, WELL, and more—helping clients achieve certification goals efficiently and strategically. For larger portfolios, we develop and manage comprehensive sustainability programs that address energy consumption, carbon emissions, certifications, capital planning, data management, and stakeholder reporting. Our work supports reporting frameworks and benchmarking platforms including GRI, GRESB, UNPRI, and TCFD—ensuring transparency, accountability, and measurable progress toward sustainability goals.
On the International Day of Clean Energy and every day after, CodeGreen remains committed to helping organizations turn climate ambition into action, advancing a cleaner, more resilient future for all.
