このファクトシートは、エンボディドカーボン（建築・インフラ材料の製造から廃棄までの温室効果ガス排出）の定義、重要性、測定方法（LCA、GWP）を概説する。特に政策立案者向けに、エンボディドカーボンが世界の排出に占める割合が大きく、早急な対策が必要であることを強調する。
English
This factsheet provides a high-level overview of embodied carbon—GHG emissions from manufacturing, transportation, installation, maintenance, and disposal of building and infrastructure materials. It explains its significance in the global climate crisis, methods of measurement via life cycle assessment (LCA) and global warming potential (GWP), and urges policymakers to take urgent action.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では、建築物のライフサイクル全体の炭素排出への関心が高まっており、SSBJや有報での開示基準にも影響を与える可能性がある。この入門書は、日本の政策立案者や建設業界がエンボディドカーボンの基礎を理解するのに有用。
In the global GX context
Globally, embodied carbon is a growing focus for climate policy and disclosure frameworks (e.g., ISO 14040 series, ISSB). This toolkit serves as a primer for policymakers and practitioners to incorporate embodied carbon into building codes and procurement.
👥 読者別の含意
🏢実務担当者:Useful for corporate sustainability teams in construction and real estate to understand embodied carbon basics and measurement.
🏛政策担当者:Essential for policymakers designing building regulations and procurement policies to address embodied carbon.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This factsheet aims to provide a high-level overview of embodied carbon — how it is defined, its significance in the global climate crisis, and why it is an important consideration for policymakers.Embodied carbon refers to the greenhouse gas emissions arising from the manufacturing, transportation, installation, maintenance, and disposal of building and infrastructure materials. Embodied carbon is a significant percentage of global emissions and requires urgent action to address it.Measuring embodied carbonTo quantify embodied carbon, practitioners use life cycle assessment (LCA) to track the greenhouse gas emissions produced over the full life cycle of a product, building, or infrastructure. These emissions are converted into metrics that reflect their potential effects on the environment. One of these metrics is global warming potential (GWP), quantified in kilograms of CO2 equivalent (kg CO2e). This quantity is also commonly referred to as a carbon footprint.
