Embodied carbon is the next frontier — and the construction industry is where it gets won or lost.
Course intro · 90 seconds
A short animated walkthrough of what your team will learn, who teaches it, and why it’s pitched at owners and directors who actually have to sign the strategy off.
Hit play and the course intro tells you the rest in less time than it takes to make a coffee.
01 / Why this course
The built environment is responsible for around 40% of global emissions, and embodied carbon — locked in by every design and procurement decision — is now the focus of regulator, client and investor attention.
Industry leadership like the Alliance for Sustainable Building Products (with Jane Anderson and others) sets out the embodied-carbon agenda. Peer-reviewed analysis like MDPI’s research on ESG practices and carbon performance shows where the levers are. The UK’s Net Zero Strategy and 78% target by 2035 turns those levers into hard deliverables.
This course gives construction teams embodied-carbon literacy, sustainable-materials and methods fluency, and ESG and reporting tools for tomorrow’s tenders.
