The MEP 2040 Challenge was issued in the fall of 2021 by the Carbon Leadership Forum, calling on “all systems engineers to advocate for and achieve net zero carbon in their projects, operational carbon by 2030 and embodied carbon by 2040.” Similar to visionary efforts like Architecture 2030 and SE 2050, the MEP 2040 vision recognizes the need to better understand and holistically track the emissions footprint of MEPTL materials and favor those with reduced, net zero, or regenerative emissions. In response to this challenge, the ProspectSV team joins the ranks of visionary organizations supporting this movement.
