The Embodied Emissions Peer Network was created in 2022 by CLF BC, and is for local government staff and invited guests to get together with the common goals of knowledge and resource sharing.

About the Embodied Emissions Peer Network

This network is currently administered in collaboration with CEA, who has experience hosting Peer Networks on a number of topics that support community-based climate action through peer learning and knowledge sharing. The EEPN, exclusive to local government staff in BC, offers a space to come together on the topic of embodied carbon (also referred to as embodied emissions) to boost understanding and adoption of embodied carbon reduction strategies across BC.

The peer network meets quarterly, with guest speakers from industry and academia invited to each session. Sessions are two hours long and include a workshop portion that allow government staff to develop and troubleshoot policy ideas with other members from other local governments.
