À propos du Carbon Leadership Forum

The Carbon Leadership Forum (CLF) is an organization within the Department of Architecture at the University of Washington that works on reducing the carbon emissions associated with building materials and construction processes (embodied carbon). The CLF is the go-to organization for building professionals and policymakers working to reduce embodied carbon. It partners with thousands of leaders from architecture, engineering and construction firms, NGOs, policy, and other key groups to improve data and methodology, inform effective and just embodied carbon policies, and support effective technologies and processes to enable material decarbonization.

Awareness and action on embodied carbon continues to grow, but learning about embodied carbon is a far-reaching challenge that requires awareness of global material supply chains, technical modeling, emerging policies, design practices, and more. Many of these topics are not commonly taught at universities or in practice.  This fellowship program aims to expose students to research and best practices relating to embodied carbon reductions.
