Here’s How: Embodied Carbon Podcasts
This podcast explores how designers of buildings and communities can apply fresh thinking and best practices to reduce embodied carbon in the built environment.
The buildings sector is responsible for 40% of global CO2 emissions. Of that, 11% is in the form of embodied carbon – emissions from the manufacture, transportation, installation, maintenance, and disposal of building materials. The Architecture 2030 initiative has challenged the buildings sector to reduce embodied carbon from all new buildings by 65% by 2030 and to zero by 2040. Eliminating embodied carbon is critical for addressing climate change. This podcast explores how designers of buildings and communities can apply fresh thinking and best practices to reduce embodied carbon in the built environment.
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing our society. And because it affects everyone, it demands our creativity, passion and collaboration to build a better, more enduring world.
