Since its founding in 2011, the Carbon Leadership Forum (CLF) has been driving research to better understand the carbon impacts of materials used in buildings and infrastructure. <\/span>Today the CLF is releasing its 2023-2026 Strategic Plan, outlining critical goals and strategies that that the organization believes will enable scaled action to reduce embodied carbon from buildings and infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n “When we started this endeavor, we expected we were onto something important, but didn\u2019t contextualize the scale or nature of the opportunity,” <\/span>said Kate Simonen, founder and executive director of the CLF. “Fast forward to today, and we\u2019re seeing embodied carbon reductions employed as a mainstream strategy among climate leaders. From large and small architecture firms, material manufacturers, policymakers and others we are seeing the shift we\u2019ve been preparing for over the last decade. We\u2019re excited to see it, and are quickly scaling our research and resource development to enable action today while laying a stronger foundation for action in the future.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n “I’m excited about the recent action that is happening across the world to reduce embodied carbon,” said Anthony Hickling, managing director of CLF. <\/span><\/span>“Yet there is <\/span>so much more<\/i>\u00a0of it needed. This strategic plan was developed to help us identify the most impactful ways CLF can support widespread reductions. And it was created for you, our existing collaborators, donors, volunteers, potential project partners and others to see how we can work together over the upcoming years. This is still just the beginning!”<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”19f92ca0-850f-4d09-a069-72fc36dea286″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n “Through this plan and with collective leadership from our many partners, we can make significant progress toward a decarbonized building industry.
