Carbon Crunch

Carbon Crunch is our series of events and reports for tackling the twin challenges of decarbonisation and climate resilience. Born from the Infrastructure Carbon Review in 2013, it has grown into a series of annual events – held in cities across the world – that bring together leaders, innovators and practitioners across the built environment.

From Manchester to Auckland to Brisbane, Carbon Crunch highlights how infrastructure, transport and construction can transform to meet the demands of a changing climate. Each report captures the voices of policymakers, engineers, sustainability experts and industry leaders, offering practical examples, bold strategies and collaborative pathways to net zero.

At its core, Carbon Crunch is about turning ambition into action. It is a space where the industry shares lessons, celebrates progress and confronts the hard realities of climate risk. Whether it’s decarbonising concrete and steel, embedding resilience in transport systems or shaping city-scale net zero strategies, Carbon Crunch provides clarity, inspiration and momentum for change.

This hub brings together all Carbon Crunch reports in one place - your gateway to insights, case studies and thought leadership from across the globe. Explore the reports, watch the sessions and join the movement to maximise impact through integrated systems approaches.
