Decarbonising the buildings sector is critical to achieving the Paris Agreement commitment as it is responsible for almost 40% of final energy use. However, the sector is not on track to meet the targets. Recent debates call for better coordination of agencies and stakeholders across organisational and sectoral boundaries, arguing that this would ultimately help accelerate the process. This study demonstrates that improvements to the stakeholder engagement process in policy design, reflected in the roadmaps, are an entry point for transformative changes. The discussion suggests that cocreation can be added to the framework as an instrument to enhance connectivity, weaving scattered stakeholders. In practical terms, it is a channel that makes stakeholders as part of a roadmap community. At the same time, in a long-term, it promotes a resilient network with stakeholders more aware and willing to implement roadmap targets, thus helping the sector meet climate targets. It reverberates in the conception of the roadmap itself that turns out to be a normative document as well as a platform for amplified connectivity and collaboration between stakeholders.
