Qui nous sommes

The Carbon Leadership Forum accelerates the transformation of the building sector to radically reduce the greenhouse gas emissions attributed to materials (also known as embodied carbon) used in buildings and infrastructure.

We research, educate, and foster cross-collaboration to bring embodied carbon of buildings and infrastructure down to zero.

Notre vision

Nous envisageons une industrie du bâtiment transformée et décarbonée - de meilleurs bâtiments pour une meilleure planète.

Notre mission

Notre mission est d'éliminer le carbone incarné des bâtiments, des matériaux et des infrastructures pour créer un avenir juste et prospère.

How We Do it

Recognizing that buildings account for nearly half of global CO2 emissions, the Carbon Leadership Forum is dedicated to accélérer la transformation du secteur du bâtiment pour réduire radicalement le carbone incarné dans les matériaux de construction et la construction par une action collective.

Le Carbon Leadership Forum propulse connaissance à travers sa recherche et ses ressources carbone incorporées, collaboration through its robust network of architects, engineers, contractors, material suppliers, building owners, policymakers, and associations, and action en soutenant et en habilitant ses membres à faire progresser de nouvelles idées et approches grâce à des initiatives percutantes.

Recherche

Nous étudions les voies pour maximiser les réductions de carbone et menons des recherches collaboratives avec des experts en matériaux, des ONG, des partenaires industriels et des décideurs.

Ressources

Nous accélérons l'apprentissage par le crowdsourcing et la diffusion de connaissances qui responsabilisent nos membres.

Réseau

We bring together architects, engineers, contractors, material suppliers, building owners, policymakers, and associations through environments designed to connect inspired advocates and spark unprecedented collaboration.

Initiatives

Nous accélérons la transformation du marché en inspirant, soutenant et habilitant nos membres à faire progresser de nouvelles idées grâce à des initiatives percutantes.

Meet the Team

CLF Staff

Carbon Leadership Forum Affiliates

As the Carbon Leadership Forum transitions towards operating as an independent nonprofit organization, staff at CLF and the University of Washington’s Life Cycle Lab are working collaboratively across both organizations to reduce embodied carbon emissions from buildings and infrastructure. CLF Affiliates are collaborative partners who support the development of CLF research and other programs.

​2022-2023 Carbon Leadership Forum Impact Report

A changed landscape for embodied carbon action

Over the past five years, we’ve seen the emergence of an unprecedented global focus on climate mitigation, carbon sequestration, technological creativity and innovation. We’ve seen more sophisticated carbon assessments, innovations in material production, a sharper focus on rigorous interpretation of carbon claims, and significant shifts in industry practice supporting decarbonization. And within the building industry, we’ve seen evidence of revolutionary change for both materials
and the buildings that incorporate them.
