About<\/h3>\n

One major goal of Buy Clean policies is to reduce the embodied carbon of construction materials, which refers to the greenhouse gas emissions generated by material production and use.<\/p>\n

This report presents actions to help advance and scale the impact of Buy Clean policies. These actions are targeted to achieve larger embodied carbon emissions reductions through any of the following strategies:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Establish Buy Clean policy in more jurisdictions<\/li>\n
  2. Expand the policy scope<\/li>\n
  3. Implement the policy more effectively<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This report also presents Buy Clean as a foundational policy upon which others can be built. Buy Clean policy is expanding product-level embodied carbon disclosure through EPDs at unprecedented levels. This report highlights complementary policies that can build upon Buy Clean to create a multiplier effect to more rapidly decarbonize the industrial sector.<\/p>\n
