Written by International team | Nov 19, 2024 5:21:12 PM

Reducing embodied carbon is becoming an increasingly urgent topic in sustainable construction, with many countries establishing frameworks and regulations to address its impact. In this webinar, organized in collaboration with Dr. Bastian Wittstock, member of the Technical Committee of the DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council) and Technical Director Decarbonization within Ramboll's Business Unit Environment & Health, we explore how Germany is navigating the complexities of embodied carbon.

Why focus on Germany?

While not yet a leader in embodied carbon regulation, Germany is actively developing policies to reduce carbon emissions in the built environment. This webinar offers critical insights into Germany’s evolving approach, providing valuable lessons for construction professionals preparing for similar trends across Europe.

Key topics include:

  • Regulatory developments and focus on renovation;
  • Scope 3 emissions and supply chain challenges;
  • DGNB Certification;
  • Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).
