Earth Day Gift: A Virtual Sustainability Symposium

In celebration of Earth Day, Green Builder Media hosted the sixth annual Sustainability Symposium, a free virtual event, on April 20-21. 

If you care about what’s happening to our climate and want to learn about innovative solutions for a regenerative, circular, decarbonized economy, see recorded presentations from Green Builder Media's 2022 Sustainability Symposium.

Held virtually on April 20 and 21, the agenda was chock full of sustainability luminaries, climate capitalists, award-winning authors, visionary manufacturers, pioneering building professionals, and trailblazing investors. 

Fretting about environmental problems will get us nowhere. Instead, it’s time to discuss innovative ideas to curb climate change in detail and move toward real solutions. This symposium, 6 hours in total, is the springboard for these important discussions to happen.

Symposium presenters explore landmark topics like getting to net-zero carbon, the electrification revolution, the ESG imperative, and the CarbonTech explosion. 

Here’s the agenda:
