RICS - Reducing carbon through facilities management: Scope 3 emissions 26062023

Building operations and management are an essential means to improve the environmental performance of a building. Yet a building’s carbon footprint is more than its embodied carbon and operational energy use. During this session a panel of experts discuss the importance, challenges and emerging pathways for FM to address Scope 3 emissions - the indirect emissions that occur in a company’s value chain

Supply Chain Sustainability School - Lunch 'n' Learn - Scope busting in Carbon Footprinting & Reporting, 10112022

BE-ST - Low Carbon Learning, Fabric and Structure - Module 2, Carbon Accounting Module, 17052022

This module will focus on how carbon accounting can be used within the built environment. It will highlight the technical challenges to reduce embodied and operational carbon and explore specific processes that can be used on construction projects, explaining how carbon footprint can be defined more easily and how calculating tools can be used effectively.

The Economist - How do carbon markets work, 01102021

In theory putting a price on carbon emissions should incentivise businesses to stop polluting. So why have carbon markets failed to achieve their goal of reducing global emissions?
