RICS Global: The RICS Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA) 2nd Edition Webinar

The RICS Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA) is set to become the world-leading standard for carbon measurement in the built environment. It is the only comprehensive standard for WLCA methodology for constructed assets and it integrates cost and carbon reporting.

The second edition builds upon the success of the existing RICS WLCA and will establish a global benchmark for consistent carbon measurement at all stages of the project lifecycle for both new and existing assets.

​Created by RICS in consultation with internationally recognised professional bodies and authored by world-leading decarbonisation experts, WLCA is accessible, reliable and promotes long-term thinking by encouraging reuse, recycling, and redevelopment. ​

Giving visibility to the carbon cost of different design choices, the standard aims to help professionals manage carbon budgets, reduce lifetime emissions, and build a net-zero future for construction. ​

This free to access webinar will introduce the second edition document which is due to publish September 2023.
