We can and must do more. But what’s holding us back?
However, progress has been slow due to several challenges including lack of government regulations, understanding of developers and investors, embodied carbon benchmarks, generic data & manufacturer EPDs, and BIM automation.
To help you overcome these specific challenges, we put together this special free resource center.
Factors limiting progress on embodied carbon & LCA
We all need to play our part to speed up decarbonisation
The #RacetoNetZero requires the entire construction industry to work together, share information and find comprehensive solutions.

Guidance
Guidance for investors & developers to reduce embodied carbon
Developers and investors have a unique opportunity to shape demand and drive transformation at the early stages of building projects. This report gathers over 50 embodied carbon-reduction policies and best practices that can be incorporated into projects, as well as practical guidance on how to use them.
Report
Construction LCA & Embodied Carbon Experts’ Outlook 2021
This report, based on a survey of 165 construction LCA experts across Europe, North America, discusses the outlook on embodied carbon and LCA in construction, or greenhouse gas emissions from construction materials over their whole life-cycle in construction works, a key area of intervention to meeting climate objectives.
For governments, cities, and policy makers
Policy framework
City policy framework for dramatically reducing embodied carbon
This framework provides guidance for cities considering policies that can deliver the highest impact within their geopolitical contexts and regulatory systems. Over 50 existing policies from leading cities have been evaluated, categorized, and scored according to their potential, cost efficiency, ease of implementation, and enforceability.
Report
Embodied Carbon Benchmarks for European Buildings
The Embodied Carbon Benchmarks for European buildings research provides benchmark data from 3737 European buildings. It aims to support regulators in policy creation and private organisations in establishing corporate policies that require pan-European information.
