COP has assembled member countries every year for nearly three decades to focus the world's attention on climate change, quantify changes, and determine programs and responsibilities to slow the increase of global temperatures. Established in 2018, GCCA aims to ensure that concrete is recognized as the sustainable building material of choice for today's needs and is committed to building a bright, resilient, and sustainable concrete future. GCCA also is an ACI International Partner as the organizations work together to develop and disseminate information on concrete, concrete structures, and especially concrete sustainability. For more information on ACI initiatives and participation in COP28, please visit concrete.org. For more information, contact:José CarrascoMarketingp +1.248.848.3160American Concrete Institute | Always advancingconcrete.org
