- GBDI non-profit association foundedThe Global Building Data Initiative has been established as a non-profit association under Austrian law, with RISE in a founding role.
- Senior Scientist: Whole life carbon and LCA of materials, buildings and building stocks (Lead)Lead our scientific work on whole life assessment of buildings, materials and building stocks, and the methods and data that make it comparable worldwide. Two years, Vienna, 80 to 100%.
- Junior Scientist: Whole life carbon and LCA of materials, buildings and building stocksBuild the data and models behind our work on whole life carbon of buildings, materials and building stocks. One year, Vienna, 60 to 100%, and it can be combined with a PhD.
- Global Partnerships and Programmes LeadLead the partnerships and global programmes that move whole life carbon from research into policy and markets. Two years, Vienna, 80 to 100%.
- Urban Heat at COP31: context-specific pathways for EU buildings, 12 NovemberMartin presents the context-specific emissions pathways work in a shared 60-minute session on cooling and clean air, alongside submissions from Ecuador, India, Ethiopia and China.
- How much carbon wood and biochar could store, in Environmental Research LettersNew work led by IIASA on what bio-based construction could hold to 2100, and why sufficiency and circularity decide whether the material switch is feasible at all.
- Two whole life carbon sessions at COP31, 16 NovemberBetter data in the morning, what to do with it in the afternoon: two COP31 sessions on the gap between measuring carbon and managing it, the second presenting CLEAR.
- Whole Life Carbon Network and INDICATE LIFE closing event, 21 October in BrusselsA day of roundtables and discussion on turning whole life carbon data into benchmarks, policy and investment decisions - and on what INDICATE LIFE leaves behind.
- Leadership Panel at IGBC Green Building Congress 2026, MumbaiMartin Röck joins the opening Leadership Panel on global pathways to green, resilient and net-zero built environments, 26 November in Mumbai.
- CLEAR: a coalition to make whole life carbon numbers mean the same thingRICS and founding members including GBDI have launched the Coalition for Life cycle Emissions Alignment and Reporting, to quantify where carbon assessment methods diverge and then harmonise them.
- Green procurement of low-carbon concrete - what came out of the Beijing seminarSixty participants from government, industry and research on how public procurement can pull low-carbon building materials into the market, and what China plans to put into procurement evaluation next.
- Context-specific emissions pathways for EU buildings, in Nature CommunicationsNew work with KU Leuven, TU Graz and IIASA on what different decarbonisation pathways mean for the European building stock to 2050.
- Whole life carbon for India's building sector - GBDI webinar with IIT BombayWhy whole life carbon matters for India's net-zero goals, what CCTS and CBAM mean for material supply chains, and which data and tools exist today.
- Keynote at the CBPM Conference, Cape TownOn whole life cycle modelling for low-carbon, climate-resilient building stock - and on why there is no one pathway that fits every context.
- A global buildings database, openly publishedWhole life carbon, energy performance and material intensity for buildings worldwide - the dataset behind GBDI, released on Zenodo.
