This session focuses on the increasingly important topic of embodied carbon reduction in the construction sector. With Professor Tsuyoshi Seike from the University of Tokyo Graduate School, we will examine the need for carbon neutrality across the full building life cycle—from material procurement to construction, demolition, and disposal—along with advanced case studies in Japan and abroad and best practices for carbon calculation and disclosure.
