Dear ,
Last month, we shared our 2025 Annual Impact Report—and now we’re excited to present our 2026–2029 Strategic Plan, which will guide our work over the coming years.
While our small team has had an outsized impact across North America and beyond, we’ve only begun to elevate action towards the level required to meet 2050 Climate Goals. Looking at the next four years, we’ve outlined a plan to leverage key opportunities that scale demand and adoption of low-carbon planning, design, and procurement strategies.
Accomplishing these goals relies on ambitious collective leadership at scale. CLF will continue collaborating with our regional hubs, partner NGOs, academia, funders, policymakers, and professionals from across the building sector to identify and scale the highest impact embodied carbon reduction strategies. We will rely on members of the building industry to demonstrate what’s possible and will support public and corporate leaders to prioritize lower-carbon construction practices.
CLF and a larger network of advocates must invest resources at a level that aligns with the enormous scale of GHG emissions we hope to reduce. And while we expect to face significant challenges, we know the benefits are worth that investment: Reducing embodied carbon creates opportunities for healthier communities, economic development, and innovation to build the just and thriving future we want to live in.
We’re eager to implement this strategic plan and begin to realize that future. I hope you’ll join us. |
