Abstract
Wood is a low-carbon alternative to materials like steel, concrete, and plastic, and plays an increasingly prominent role in strategies to decarbonise the built environment. But while the UK government has highlighted increased wood use as a key element in meeting climate goals, there is a crtical issue often overlooked: the supply chain behind that wood.
