Highlighting carbon-storing buildings
In 2020, Builders for Climate Action will launch a nationwide carbon-storing buildings challenge.
We hope to gather an impressive collection of existing buildings that store more carbon in their materials than was emitted during the harvesting, transporting and manufacturing of their materials.
The challenge will recognize the best carbon storing buildings we can find, but also create a valuable database of buildings and their designers and builders.
By showing what's already possible, we hope to inspire others to make carbon storing buildings and help drawdown of atmospheric carbon to limit climate change.
