Carbon regulations in the UK: challenges & opportunities for the construction industry, with UKGBC

Embodied carbon is a pivotal issue in the construction industry, impacting how we approach sustainability and regulatory compliance. Our next "Country Focus: United Kingdom" webinar will delve into the UK's regulatory landscape on embodied carbon, offering valuable insights for construction professionals worldwide, in company of Alex Benstead, Senior Advisor in the Net Zero team at the UK Green Building Council.

Why focusing on the UK?

The UK is not just any country in the realm of construction: it’s a leading player with progressive policies that set benchmarks globally. The UK's approach to embodied carbon regulations is particularly significant for two reasons:

• Industry standards: The UK's regulations often serve as a model for other countries. By studying their framework, construction professionals can stay ahead of trends and prepare for similar regulations that may be adopted in their own countries.
• Innovative practices: The UK’s emphasis on sustainability has led to the development of innovative practices and technologies that effectively manage and reduce embodied carbon. Learning from these practices can provide actionable strategies for your own projects.

Key points in our webinar will include:

• Embodied carbon - what it is and why it matters in the UK context?
• UK standards and regulations - how to navigate the latest regulatory landscape?

Crafted by industry experts, this webinar equips both seasoned professionals and newcomers with the knowledge necessary to navigate the evolving regulatory environment and drive sustainability in their projects.
