Australia Carbon Insights Series 2025
From Policy to Product: The Embodied Carbon Revolution in Australian Construction
Explore the data, design & decisions shaping Australia's low-carbon future in this interactive virtual event. Gain actionable insights, connect with industry leaders, and drive real change.

Join us for this real-world exploration of LCA in action — and walk away with proven ideas to apply on your next project.
Australia Embodied Carbon & Policy Landscape
Embodied carbon is emerging as a critical focus in Australia’s journey toward a net-zero future. This session explores the key forces driving its reduction across the construction sector — from government mandates and state infrastructure requirements to the evolving role of green certification schemes like ISCA and Green Star. We’ll also highlight how industry-led collaborations, such as MECLA, are setting new benchmarks and catalyzing market transformation. Discover how policy, certification, and collective action are shaping the next phase of sustainable building in Australia.
LCA in Practice: Challenges & Wins
What does it take to successfully implement Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) on real-world construction projects in Australia? In this session, you’ll hear directly from leading sustainability consultants and architects about their hands-on experiences applying LCA to reduce embodied carbon in buildings. Our expert panel will share insights into the challenges they face, the innovative strategies they’ve adopted, and the measurable results they've achieved across major projects. This is a must-attend session for professionals seeking practical knowledge and candid reflections on integrating LCA into design workflows.
