Andrew Himes is Director of Collective Impact at the Life Cycle Lab at the University of Washington, working on collective impact initiatives to reduce embodied carbon emissions in built environments, including building materials, design, construction, and retrofits. He hosts the NGO\/Government Roundtable on Embodied Carbon<\/a>, explores opportunities for collective action to reduce embodied carbon, and manages strategic communications. In 2018, he was coordinator of Carbon Smart Building Day<\/a>, a conference affiliated with the Global Climate Action Summit focused on transforming the global building industry to net zero carbon emissions by 2050.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 1987 Himes was founding editor of MacTech<\/a>, still today the leading Apple technology journal, then co-founded the Microsoft Developer Network<\/a> and led the first web development project at Microsoft in the early 90s.

In October 2020 I happily joined the Carbon Leadership Forum staff in a new permanent position as Director of Collective Impact. Some of you may know that I have worked with Kate and the Carbon Leadership Forum for a few years now, first as a volunteer, then in a part-time and temporary position, and now as a full-timer.<\/p>\n

In 2017 I helped CLF develop a roadmap to identify key actions needed across the industry to decarbonize construction and materials. In 2018, I coordinated Carbon Smart Building Day at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco to help the industry unite on a common vision and purpose to radically reduce both operational carbon and embodied carbon. In 2019 I helped develop a communications plan to support the launch of the EC3 tool, helped convene the first meeting of CLF’s NGO\/Government Roundtable on Embodied Carbon, and developed a CRM database to manage CLF’s growing network of professionals, companies, partners, communications, and projects. In 2020, I developed the online CLF Community and implemented the CLF’s new website and monthly newsletters.<\/p>\n

When you do a web search for \u201ccollective impact,\u201d you learn that collective impact<\/a> \u201cbrings people together, in a structured way, to achieve social change. It starts with a common agenda. It establishes shared measurement. It fosters mutually reinforcing activities. It encourages continuous communication. And it has a strong backbone.\u201d<\/p>\n

This not a new or particularly complicated idea. It just means you invite everybody who claims a common purpose to unite in common action. It means that true social change is about equity, sharing and collaboration. Social change is about listening well, and offering your passion, resources, energy, and expertise to achieve a future you could not possibly reach without allies and friends.<\/p>\n

Collective impact has been the core methodology and strategic framework for all major social change movements in US history, from the struggle to end slavery to the fight for women\u2019s right to vote, from the civil rights movement of the 50s and 60s to our current effort to address the climate challenge in the context of economic inequality and structural racism.<\/p>\n

Our mission is to eliminate embodied carbon in buildings and infrastructure by inspiring innovation and spurring change through collective action. But it is not the mission of a small group of people at the University of Washington. It is your work and ours, an aim and purpose claimed and shared by friends around the world working to create a planet that works for everyone.<\/p>\n
