WorldGBC, in partnership with the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, are releasing a report calling for urgent and co-ordinated action to tackle global embodied carbon emissions from the building and construction sector.

GBCA has been a proud participant in the development of this report. The report calls for radical industry collaboration to achieve decarbonisation from the sector by 2050. It sets out the vision, goals, actions, and milestones needed to achieve transformation, and highlights industry leaders paving the way.

Join us for this member’s only webinar to get an overview of this ground-breaking report: Bringing Embodied Carbon Upfront. You will also learn how this report lines up with GBCA’s Carbon Positive Roadmap, and you will get a peek at what part Green Star for New Buildings, and the other Future Focus rating tools will play at making the outcomes of this report a reality.

The webinar is suitable for building owners, designers, sustainability consultants, procurement personnel, product suppliers, and manufacturers.
