But what if the buildings we designed and occupied could instead serve to reverse this trend, by acting as carbon sinks?
This summit convenes the leading minds and actors in the embodied carbon conversation to accelerate collaboration and change towards a future with carbon-negative materials. From the Carbon Leadership Forum, to LCA consultants, to manufacturers of bio-based, carbon sequestering materials, this summit will inspire and challenge us all to think deeper about how to design for a living future.
