Embodied carbon refers to the greenhouse gas emissions generated during the extraction, production, transport, and installation of building materials. It’s one of the most significant contributors to an infrastructure project’s climate impact. Envision Credit CR1.1 – Reduce Net Embodied Carbon guides project teams take measurable steps to reduce embodied carbon, from material selection to innovative design strategies. ▶️ Watch our video to learn how Envision supports meaningful climate action. 📌 Learn more about Envision: https://lnkd.in/e3a72Np #EnvisionFramework #SustainableInfrastructure #EmbodiedCarbon

In my early consulting days, I felt pressure to present clean answers. Tidy conclusions. Neat summaries. No room for uncertainty. But climate risk doesn’t work like that 🤔 Uncertainty is part of the job and part of the truth. What I’ve learned since then is that transparency isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about being clear about how we got to the ones we have💡 One example I keep coming back to is on projecting future impacts: 👉 We use high-resolution climate data to estimate impacts on renewable energy production. 👉 Then we refine those estimates using weather station data and a bias correction model. 👉 That model preserves extreme events (not just averages) and reaches 92% accuracy compared to observational data. That kind of precision matters. But what matters just as much is how we explain it - the assumptions, the confidence levels, and the limitations. Because clarity builds trust. And trust is what makes climate data usable. How do you approach uncertainty in your work? Would love to hear how others balance complexity and clarity. #ClimateTech #ClimateRisk #Transparency #ClimateData #DecisionSupport

The Project Drawdown Explorer moves beyond just scale and cost to include detailed analysis on the speed of action, geography, and additional benefits of climate solutions across all relevant sectors, including: electricity; transportation; buildings; industry; materials and waste; energy processing; land use, food, and agriculture; oceans; and carbon removal. When fully completed in 2026, the Drawdown Explorer will provide detailed, up-to-date information on more than 140 climate solutions that, if scaled, can stop climate change. All of the solutions are regularly updated as better data become available. Explorer: https://lnkd.in/dFMtR2_a

Traditional planning is no longer enough to address an uncertain future of shifting demand and climate impacts. At DTECH Northeast, EPRI will fully explore the new Climate READi framework that is designed to be a proactive strategy for assessing climate risk and safeguarding your infrastructure. #Energy #Sustainability #PowerGrid #RenewableEnergy #ClimateChange #Resilience https://lnkd.in/giF_c-sz

Earth has 10x less space for underground carbon storage than we thought: New research reveals underground carbon storage is far more limited and risky than expected, reshaping climate plans and net-zero strategies. #EarthDotCom #EarthSnap #Earth

Cities are key to the clean energy transition. 🌍 David Miller shares his remarks from True North Rising, Toronto Climate Week’s flagship event, on the opportunities Toronto has to lead in clean energy adoption—and the critical role cities play in making it happen. #TOCW #CleanEnergy #SustainableCities

Cities aren’t just setting climate targets—they’re making them real. From solar on rooftops to local energy co-ops, municipalities are cutting emissions, lowering costs, and supporting communities. With the right support and inclusive models, cities can drive a transition that delivers clean air, resilience, and fairer local economies, says Duygu Kutluay.

The energy transition isn’t just about climate, it’s about community. From Zaragoza to Larissa, Büttstedt to Ghent, cities across Europe are proving that renewable energy can power more than just homes; it can power fairness, resilience, and opportunity. Curious how solar panels on wedding halls and citizen-owned cooperatives are reshaping local economies? This piece is a must-read for anyone who believes the energy transition should be local, inclusive, and transformative. 👇
