New paper, hot off the press - "Whole life carbon quantification of the built environment: Case study Ireland" https://t.co/A4sa6VLd5L

What's the impact of the Irish built environment? What emissions are associated with its operation and construction? Wh…https://t.co/CxqpvxlapR

Our built environment account for 37% of Ireland’s emissions, same as agriculture. We can’t reach our 2030’s climate targets without addressing embodied carbon in the built environment, @o_p_k #BuildGreenNow22 #ClimateAction #BuildingLife

We need to build more compact, low carbon developments and to better use our existing stock @EamonRyan @Dept_ECC

@IrishGBC @EngineerIreland @RIAIOnline @SCSISurveyors @UKGBC @WorldGBC_Europe @Laudes_Fdn @GBCEs @FiGBC_ @GreenNews_ie @hqegbc Still working on this research … but early baselining exercise points to the scale of the challenge ahead. We’re currently making projections to 2030 for a range of scenarios.

Great to be involved in this epic review paper with these plant lovers

What we did last summer you ask? We worked on this 40+ pages monstrosity of a #Cannabis review.
We even talked to an engineer and a cancer geneticist! Because, you know, Cannabis is awesome. And all of the coauthors are, too.
