C Change Intervention Briefing: Whole Life Carbon

Zusammenfassung des Berichts: It is widely acknowledged that the real estate industry must assess and cut whole life carbon emissions – operational and embodied carbon together – if it is to meet its environmental obligations. At the moment, decision-making on whole life carbon is severely hampered by a lack of data, which must change if there is to be a decarbonised built environment.

This briefing explores the current situation, what needs to happen next and how you can get involved. It is one of a suite of intervention points developed as part of the C Change programme. Intervention points are specific places within a system where we can target action, interrupting business as usual in order to drive transformation.

C Change is a ULI-led programme to mobilise the European real estate industry to decarbonise. We’re a movement empowering everyone to work together for a sustainable future. We connect the brightest minds from across the value chain. We challenge barriers, share expertise, and champion innovation to move swiftly to accelerate solutions that will transform our industry and protect our planet. C Change means real change.

C Change was formed in late 2021 by a group of leading real estate players that was united in its aim to focus on collaboration to ensure companies large and small have access to practical solutions and education on decarbonisation.
