As the built environment works towards net zero, there is growing recognition that reducing whole life carbon is just as important as improving operational performance. At the same time, policymakers and industry are increasingly exploring whether Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA) should move from voluntary guidance to a more consistent, mandatory approach.

 

This webinar launches CCBP’s latest research project, introducing the key concepts behind WLCA, the purpose of the research, and the questions it aims to answer. It provides attendees with the knowledge and context needed to engage with this important industry conversation and contribute to the research as it develops.

The discussion will cover:

  • What Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA) is and why it is becoming increasingly important in the transition to a net zero built environment
  • The purpose and scope of CCBP’s latest research, exploring whether and how WLCA could be mandated through the planning system for public sector developments
  • The current policy landscape, key challenges facing the industry, and the opportunities presented by a more consistent approach to carbon assessment
  • An introduction to the research methodology, the questions the project aims to answer, and how industry can contribute to shaping the findings

 

Designed as an introductory session, this webinar will provide attendees with a clear understanding of the key concepts underpinning Whole Life Carbon Assessment and the context behind CCBP’s latest research. It will also set the scene for the wider programme of engagement that will follow as the research develops.

This event is relevant to developers, contractors, consultants, local authorities, planners, policymakers, academics, and anyone with an interest in carbon reduction, sustainable construction, and the future of planning policy.
