Webinar overview
Climate Group (ConcreteZero), and CapitaLand Development invites you to the official launch of Concrete Data for Concrete Action, the first comprehensive market benchmark of concrete embodied carbon in Singapore. This launch webinar brings together global and Southeast Asian experts to unpack the findings of the newly released report and explore opportunities to transform concrete supply chains in Singapore, the region, and beyond.
The built environment accounts for almost 40% of global CO₂ emissions, with materials and construction responsible for roughly 11%. As countries and cities shift their attention from operational efficiency to embodied carbon, the construction sector must fundamentally rethink how buildings are designed, financed and delivered. Singapore’s new Market Benchmark for Concrete Embodied Carbon, developed through extensive collaboration with suppliers, developers, regulators, financiers and technical experts, marks a major milestone.
Who Should Attend
This webinar convenes leaders from Singapore, Southeast Asia, and globally who are driving the transition toward lower-carbon construction, strengthening material transparency, and pushing forward practical pathways for rapid decarbonisation.
