The U.S. Climate Alliance, a bipartisan coalition of 24 states representing over half of the U.S. economy, has reaffirmed its commitment to the Paris Agreement. In a letter to the United Nations Climate Change Executive Secretary, Alliance Co-Chairs Governor Kathy Hochul of New York and Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico write: “Our states and territories continue to… advance the climate solutions we need… It’s critical for the international community to know that climate action will continue in the U.S.” The Alliance has consistently brought this message to global climate forums and will continue to do so at COP30 in Brazil in 2025. Since 2005, U.S. states have collectively reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 19% while increasing their GDP by 30%, demonstrating that economic growth and decarbonization can progress together. Strategies include regional carbon markets, clean energy mandates, methane reduction programs, and infrastructure investments.

Data-driven sustainability isn't just a buzzword at Hilti Group — it's a decade-long commitment that's now paying dividends. Graham B., Sustainability Project Manager at Hilti, reveals how their extensive life-cycle assessment (LCA) database has become a powerful asset in their decarbonization journey.   For the last 10 years, LCAs have been mandatory for all new Hilti products, creating a robust foundation for their Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments. But what's truly exciting is how this data is driving innovation in unexpected ways.   "Re-engineering products to do more with less has opened new paths to carbon reduction," Graham explains. Think of structural fasteners that require fewer anchor points or drills that can bore more holes per battery charge — innovations that boost performance while cutting emissions.   Hilti's approach demonstrates how deep product knowledge, combined with sustainability goals, can unlock solutions that benefit both customers and the planet. Hilti's experience shows that with the right data and mindset, every design choice becomes an opportunity for carbon reduction. 👉 Watch the full interview to learn how Hilti is driving product circularity and carbon transparency: https://lnkd.in/diT-duha   Love what you learn from One Click LCA?  Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dgeWbjcv Book a demo with a carbon expert today: https://lnkd.in/d9zKuEBh

It's official: To enable you to measure and report on GHGs and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), One Click LCA now offers a complete carbon and compliance reporting solution for construction and manufacturing companies. The CSRD sets a new accountability standard, requiring EU and EEA organizations to disclose detailed environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts. Key features of the solution include: ◆ Double materiality assessments: Address sustainability risks and opportunities across environmental and financial dimensions, meeting ESRS requirements. ◆ Automated data quantification: Calculate Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions, resource use, pollution, and circular economy indicators. ◆ Comprehensive GHG management: Use tools like the GHG Accounting Tool and Carbon Strategy Tool to track and optimize emissions. ◆ Audit-ready reporting: Generate sustainability statements and XBRL files for seamless submission to EU authorities. Learn how One Click LCA can simplify your CSRD compliance and support your sustainability goals: https://lnkd.in/dUdTFsYW #CSRD #Sustainability #Construction #CarbonReporting #ESG

Ever wondered how trees, materials, and water features can make cities feel up to 10°C cooler? London’s studio 4215 is proving it’s possible. Using ENVI-met’s environmental modeling, they’ve developed Palette Studies to help architects and designers make climate-smart choices. As Byron Mardas of Studio 4215 explains: "Our early-stage methodology empowers design teams to shape outdoor comfort by comparing material and landscape impacts, ensuring climate-aware choices from the start." What sets their approach apart? ✅ Strategic tree placement for cooling microclimates ✅ Water features that amplify cooling effects ✅ Material selection tailored for extreme conditions Curious about how these insights could improve your designs? Explore the full study and see how data-driven strategies can transform outdoor spaces.

Is there a trade-off between customer needs and sustainability? In the case of Hilti Group, the answer is rarely. According to Graham B., Sustainability Project Manager at Hilti, customers are increasingly aligned on rapid decarbonization, recognizing its urgency in construction and infrastructure. But here’s the real challenge: standardization. Graham points out that customer resistance isn’t the main hurdle — it’s the lack of consensus on documentation and calculation methods. Without standardized approaches, progress slows. Another key shift? Carbon reduction is now central to building certifications. Take LEED v5, for example — nearly half of its points now focus on carbon. Graham also highlights the importance of multi-attribution in sustainability strategy. A truly sustainable building isn’t just low-carbon at construction — it must also be durable and valuable for decades. This means evaluating multiple factors beyond embodied carbon, including resource efficiency, recyclability, and human health impacts. Without a multi-attribution approach, sustainability decisions risk overlooking long-term performance and circularity.

Arcadis Global Sustainability Director Mark McKenna says that measuring carbon impact should become as natural as checking costs. His team at Arcadis is putting this into practice, starting with complex infrastructure projects like highways, bridges, and public transport systems.   "Everyone needs to become literate in whole-life carbon valuation," says McKenna. "Only then will the industry move together at the scale and pace we need." It's about making carbon assessment a fundamental skill — as basic as reading a budget or reviewing a design spec.   As One Click LCA's CEO & Founder Panu Pasanen notes, Arcadis is bringing carbon awareness to infrastructure — a sector where making this change takes real commitment. Arcadis' work shows that with the right tools and mindset, every design & construction team can make carbon calculations part of their daily operations.   👉 Watch the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/dnTxJpRz Love what you learn from One Click LCA?  👉 Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dgeWbjcv 👉 Book a demo with a carbon expert today: https://lnkd.in/d9zKuEBh   #SustainableConstruction #CarbonReduction #Construction #Arcadis #Infrastructure #NetZero #OneClickLCA #wholelifecarbon

🌍 The future of sustainable construction depends on smarter decisions — right from the start. That’s why Schneider Electric and One Click LCA are committed to delivering the carbon data transparency the industry needs to decarbonize the built environment. Access to accurate environmental data for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems has long been a challenge for AEC professionals. With Schneider Electric’s comprehensive product data now available in One Click LCA’s platform, you can: ✅ Make informed material decisions early in your projects ✅ Perform precise life-cycle assessments ✅ Drive sustainable design strategies with confidence 🏢 Buildings are responsible for 39% of global energy-related carbon emissions, and 50% of today’s buildings will still be in use by 2050. Decarbonization starts with the decisions we make today — especially when retrofitting can cut lifecycle emissions by up to 83%. Together, we’re setting a new standard for transparency and empowering AEC professionals to lead the charge toward a sustainable future. 💡 Ready to make better decisions for your next building project?
