Congratulations, @paola.fiore ! We are extremely happy and proud of the fact that the Italian Volunteer National Coordinator Dr. Paola Fiore has been awarded the Alfredo Sirkis Memorial Green Ring Award by the @climatereality Founder and Chairman Al Gore for her outstanding commitment to climate change action and advocacy with the Italian Team @climaterealityitalia , the European Branch @climaterealityeurope and the global Community of the Climate Reality Project. Her authentic legacy and passionate dedication have brought forward many impactful climate actions and have inspired lots of Climate Reality Leaders in Italy, Europe, and worldwide. As this 56th Climate Reality Leadership Corps Training in Rome has come to an end, we wish to thank everyone for the amazing energy and work. Our Italian Team looks forward to welcome all the newly trained Climate Leaders. Don’t forget to tag us! #ActOnClimate #leadonclimate #LeadWithClimateReality @algore @ClimateReality @ClimaterealityEurope @paola.fiore Congratulazioni, @paola.fiore! Siamo estremamente felici e orgogliosi che la coordinatrice nazionale dei volontari italiani, la dott.ssa Paola Fiore, sia stata premiata con l’Alfredo Sirkis Memorial Green Ring Award dal fondatore e presidente di @climatereality Al Gore per il suo eccezionale impegno nell’azione contro il cambiamento climatico e nell’advocacy con il team italiano di @climaterealityitalia , la filiale europea @climaterealityeurope e la comunità globale del Climate Reality Project. La sua eredità autentica e la sua dedizione appassionata hanno fatto progredire molte azioni di impatto sul clima e ispirato molti Climate Reality Leaders in Italia, in Europa e nel mondo. Al termine di questo 56° Climate Reality Leadership Corps Training , vorremmo ringraziare tutti per la loro straordinaria energia e il loro lavoro. Il nostro team italiano non vede l’ora di dare il benvenuto a tutti i Climate Reality Leaders appena formati. Non dimenticate di taggarci!

Brussels’ first-quarter 2026 price for CBAM certificates makes embodied carbon a direct cost for imported steel, aluminium and cement, pushing whole life carbon into core procurement decisions across sustainable construction.

Developers and contractors will need stronger whole life carbon assessment, lifecycle assessment, life cycle thinking in construction and life cycle cost discipline, backed by sustainable material specification, environmental product declarations (EPDs) and verified low embodied carbon materials.

The shift strengthens sustainable building design, low carbon design and eco-design for buildings, rewards low carbon construction materials and supports a circular economy in construction. It also raises the value of BREEAM and BREEAM v7 pathways for net zero whole life carbon, net zero carbon buildings and better control of the carbon footprint of construction.

UK backing for Agratas’s Somerset battery gigafactory and ITM Power’s Sheffield electrolyser expansion supports the industrial base behind green infrastructure, electrification and hydrogen systems, all of which matter for environmental sustainability in construction, energy-efficient buildings and low carbon building supply chains.

Record solar output is cleaning the grid faster, improving the case for all-electric sustainable design and carbon footprint reduction in operations. The harder challenge remains embodied carbon in materials, building lifecycle performance and the wider environmental impact of construction. A weaker UK market leaves sustainable building practices, circular construction strategies, end-of-life reuse in construction and the broader task of decarbonising the built environment dependent on execution, resource efficiency in construction and resilient supply chains.
