Experts in climate science, engineering, architecture, energy, economics and business gathered to glean and share insights about the role of buildings in addressing the challenges of climate change.

We are at the crossroads of the most significant crisis of modern times. Two profound, life-changing events – the rapid depletion of fossil fuels and rising sea level from the warming of the earth’s atmosphere – are converging to dramatically alter our future.  Hear from Edward Mazria, founder of Architecture 2030 as he unveils a new study of sea level rise showing fly-over 3D images depicting the potentially calamitous coastal and national impacts of these events. Then learn of the historic role we must play in addressing this crisis and a solution that is based on available means and measurable results.
