Pasanen, Panu, Johanna Jarvinen, Kostas Koukoulopoulos, Lorélia Le Gouvello, Tytti Bruce, Rodrigo Castro, Fernando Barrios, et al.. "City Policy Framework for Dramatically Reducing Embodied Carbon". embodiedcarbonpolicies.com. 2020. https://www.embodiedcarbonpolicies.com/...

This is a framework for cities and other government bodies to develop a strategy, action plan, and policies in response to the climate emergency.  It is a manual and blueprint to dramatically reduce embodied carbon from the manufacture, transport, use, and life-cycle end of construction material.  It helps cities in reducing and eliminating embodied carbon in such building asset classes as office buildings, apartments and hotels.  It suggests what cities can do, how to do it, and what the most carbon-reducing, cost-effective, easiest-to-implement, and enforceable policies are that could be adopted to initiate and accelerate the transition to low-carbon construction.
