Regardless of how it came about, the time has come to put down the dire reports, pick up our sense of optimism, and build the business case for doing something about it. KL\u0026A now recognizes that embodied carbon is part of our industry\u2019s contribution to world greenhouse gas emissions, and that it is our business to develop new thinking around structural materials and construction: how they are made, how they are used, and how they are disposed of. We have developed a 10-point strategy for implementing this new design imperative. This talk will introduce the basic concepts of embodied carbon accounting and portray a broad picture of industry trends, opportunities, and strategies for embodied carbon reduction. There will be ample time for discussion. "]]]]}
