In this episode of the Thrive in Construction Podcast, we are joined by Laura Baron, a passionate advocate for sustainable construction.
Laura delves into the critical issue of embodied carbon in the construction industry, emphasising the significant impact of materials like cement, which alone contributes 8% to global emissions—far surpassing the emissions from aviation.
Laura shares her expertise on the challenges and opportunities of reducing embodied carbon, highlighting the urgent need for legislative changes and innovative approaches. She also reflects on the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, discussing its profound implications for building regulations and the shift towards more sustainable practices.
Join us as Laura and Darren engage in a thought-provoking conversation about the future of sustainable construction, the importance of context in addressing carbon emissions, and the potential for positive change through industry collaboration and client awareness.
