Powering Our Future: A Green Collar Economy with Government Incentives
Category
Sustainability
2023 was the hottest year on record and transportation and the building sector are some of the largest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions in North America. But transportation and real estate are also sectors where the power of choice and thoughtful investment will create positive generational social value and long-lasting collective climate risk management. Join this dynamic discussion about the intersection of industrial real estate development, building electrification, low-carbon materials and construction, climate risk management, and the critical need for domestic electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing and charging infrastructure. We will dive into cutting-edge strategies in climate risk management, low-carbon and resilient building design, and practical, real-world examples from across North America where cities, manufacturers, and the building industry are already decarbonizing the whole-building lifecycle and adapting to extreme weather. Innovative solutions to the growing demand for EV charging infrastructure will also be shared, especially in urban areas where equitable access is crucial. The session will also focus on specific government incentives and policies that are driving the shift to a sustainable future by supporting industrial development, EV infrastructure, and building decarbonization.
