2025 CLF North American Material Baselines Webinar: New data, updated insights

Every two years, CLF publishes a Material Baselines report to capture the current state of the industry and estimate industry-average GHG emissions for construction materials manufactured in North America. Since our first 3-page report in 2019, created to support the launch of the EC3 tool,

In this webinar, hear from the report authors on the 2025 CLF North American Material Baselines Report, as they provide an overview of the project, walk through the methods and results, and highlight key updates from previous versions — plus Q&A with CLF staff.

From First to Future: How EPDs Are Reshaping Concrete

by Chris Erickson, Founder and Chairman, Climate Earth

In 2011, Climate Earth set out with a bold idea: to automate Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for concrete. At the time EPDs were barely on the radar - complex, manual, and mostly academic. But we saw something bigger. 

We believed that if we could make EPDs fast, scalable, and accessible, they could become the foundation for a low-carbon transformation across the concrete industry.
