Workshop description
The construction sector faces growing pressure to measure, manage, and reduce carbon emissions across the full project lifecycle. This workshop provides FIDIC contract users with a practical, hands-on introduction to FIDIC’s Carbon Management (CM) Guide and the Carbon Emissions Management (CEM) Guidance for the Red Book and White Book.
Participants will learn how to embed carbon management into FIDIC-based projects from tender to completion, understand the contractual mechanisms available to incentivise and enforce emissions performance, and apply the CEM Guidance annexes to real procurement scenarios. No prior knowledge of carbon management is required.
The workshop is designed for practitioners who are familiar with FIDIC contracts but may be new to this subject.
Learning outcomes
- Understand the structure and purpose of FIDIC’s carbon management documentation suite
- Know how to incorporate CEM requirements into tender documents and contract conditions
- Be able to apply the CE Budget mechanisms in practice
