One of the core mandates of the SustainableSustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is the abatement of global warming. The challenge of global warming is hugely influenced by the discharge of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and carbon emissionsEmissions are known to be a major contributor to the greenhouse gases. Activities and processes engaged by building occupants bring about the discharge of carbon emissionsEmissions to the atmosphere, thus serving as a contributor to the world crisis of global warming. On this premise, this study assesses the drivers of the adoptionAdoption of zero carbonZero carbonemissionEmissions in buildings. Relevant literature was reviewed which led to the identification of the drivers. Data was collected through the aid of questionnaireQuestionnaires from built environment professionals, while appropriate methods of data analysis were used. Findings from the study indicated that government initiatives and stakeholders’ influence were the most significant drivers for the attainment of zero carbonZero carbon buildings. The study made recommendationsRecommendations by emphasizing the roles to be played by government and stakeholders in the built environment in the actualizing the pursuit of zero carbonZero carbonemissionsEmissions in buildings.
