A comprehensive resource for cities and other government bodies seeking to develop strategies, action plans and policies to tackle embodied carbon. The report identifies and assesses policy types and urban planning approaches to create a sustainable built environment in terms of embodied carbon, with best practices drawn mostly from cities in Europe and North America alongside new policies that have yet to be implemented. Topics covered include: Building regulations, Public procurement, Waste and circularity, Financial policies, Municipal buildings, Infrastructure and parks.
