April 14th, 10:00 AM – FREE VIRTUAL KEYNOTE PRESENTATION

As cities struggle with the pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, better support green jobs, and hyper-competitive real estate markets, they must find new and creative solutions that address short- and long-term issues. This includes creating a low- or zero-carbon future, which requires a step-by-step process to retrofit our existing communities and ensure all future builds are net-zero-carbon operations by 2050. From policy to infrastructure to new and old buildings, this session will look at how we can create cities that improve lives through deep carbon reduction, creating co-benefits for people and the planet.
