Current calculations of the embodied carbon of wood rest on LCAs that rest in turn on the assumption that managed forests are always carbon neutral. This presentation lays out why it’s important to add a “forest carbon-stock change” factor to the embodied carbon assessment of wood, and suggests a methodology for how this can be done. Also draws an important distinction between climate-smart forestry and carbon-friendly forestry. RUNNING TIME 22 MINUTES
