Pacific Northwest Building Resilience Coalition represents thousands of private companies committed to improve planning, development, and the construction of homes, buildings, communities, and associated infrastructure capable of surviving, recovering from, and adapting to the growing impacts of natural disasters, climate change, and an ever evolving urban and physical environment.

As governments rebuild infrastructure and economies after the economic downturn caused by COVID, we must ensure that recovery plans shape our current and future economies in ways that are safe, clean, sustainable, and resilient. “Buy Clean” legislation, will require all manufacturing to adapt to stricter greenhouse gas (GHG) emission regulations and embodied carbon thresholds. The environmental impact of building materials during their “full life-cycle” will play an important role in attaining our GHG goals going forward. Cement, concrete, and concrete masonry products provide resilience to natural disasters and climate change while reducing CO 2 emissions and attaining greenhouse gas reduction targets.
