Addressing the invisible carbon gap is post 10 of 31 to try and brighten your August summer lull by sharing the fabulous projects that Mott MacDonald are involved in. Net zero is now widely integrated within government and corporate sustainability agendas. But when nature is missing from the baseline used to set net zero targets, neither the losses in carbon storage resulting from damage to the natural environment or the emission reductions are captured, creating an invisible carbon gap.  In the latest publication from the Net-Zero Infrastructure Industry Coalition (NZIIC), written as a result of a workstream led by Mott MacDonald, “Nature: the missing piece of the net zero puzzle” highlights how the carbon sequestration potential of nature can be used to set a net zero baseline, and to assess whole life carbon within construction.  The NZIIC regularly publishes reports and high-quality guidance on key aspects of achieving net zero.

We’re designing transport projects for a low-carbon future, from start to finish. This means reducing emissions at every stage of the process – from material selection to operations and even end-of-life planning. By comparing traditional designs with carbon-sensitive ones, we can quantify real carbon savings.

An important milestone in our journey to Net Zero in the Built Environment. The pilot version of The Standard - UK NZC Buildings Standard is now live, representing a unified industry approach to defining net zero carbon aligned buildings. Massive thanks to the hundreds involved in creating this - it's now up to the collective us to ensure adoption. If you're not sure what to do next: - Download the Pilot version: https://lnkd.in/ddQS2tqs 🚀 - Share this post with colleagues and clients 👉💻 - Get busy building some net zero carbon aligned buildings 🌱🏫 - Attend the webinar on the 31st October 💻💡 #NetZero #NetZeroGoals #NetZeroEmissions #ZeroCarbon #ClimateAction #Sustainability #OperationalEnergy #EmbodiedCarbon #CarbonFootprint #ClimateCrisis #SustainableFuture #ClimateSolutions #Decarbonisation

How can we accelerate the transition to net zero buildings in operation? Our new publication, which we co-authored with the WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development, offers a clear path forward, building upon existing policies and initiatives. It presents a 12-step action plan for governments and industry, focusing on: - Establishing a common definition of net zero buildings  - Increasing transparency around building energy performance  - Introducing mandatory performance floors  - Creating the right incentives Download the full action plan: https://lnkd.in/eWKpUTBk

Nice to see my TSA Management colleague Craig Rodgers hosting an interesting panel at FuturePlace’s Net Zero Construction conference. Some key themes: - Gov’t spec teams need to consider performance based specifications …without them we’re stifling innovation and putting an anchor on our net zero journey - net zero and nature positive can be achieved in unison through courageous innovation and collaboration - scope 3 emissions in our industry are by far the biggest part of our footprint ….its time we all start measuring and reducing them as part of our net zero strategies. If done well, with a pragmatic approach….practical decarbonisation solutions can help deliver projects on time, to cost and quality targets. Well chaired Hudson Worsley. #sustainabledevelopment #greenbuilding #netzero #nzc24

Net zero can represent different priorities across sectors. Priorities for the construction management industry differ from those for manufacturing or professional services. LEED Fellow Geoffrey Brock details how net zero means different things to different organizations. https://bit.ly/3YA3wWe

Here are my two cents on the importance of transparency in net-zero goals for companies in dynamic sectors like Construction Management. How do we make goals uniform when operations are not?...(click post to read more)
