A Green Building Council (GBC) is any national non-profit, non-government organization that is part of a global network recognized by the World Green Building Council. A green building council's goal is to promote a transformation of the built environment towards one that is sustainable (buildings and cities that are environmentally sensitive, economically viable, socially just and culturally significant).[http://www.worldgbc.org/council-development World Green Building Council]. 2009. 31 July 2009. {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090830192145/http://www.worldgbc.org/council-development |date=2009-08-30 }}.
