May 28-30: Building Lasting Change in Vancouver, BC

Building Lasting Change

Apr 29, 2019

Join the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) for three days of opportunities, education and networking with the leaders, change makers and innovators of Canada’s green building industry.

Future-proofing Canada’s building stock to respond to the reality of climate change requires actionable solutions that balance the need to reduce carbon emissions with enhanced resilience and improved health and well-being in the spaces where we work, live and play.

New, low carbon green buildings are part of the solution, but it will also be essential to retrofit the millions of square feet of existing buildings to achieve our social, economic and environmental objectives. This is the path leading us forward to greater technological and environmental advancements that will build lasting change.

Connect, contribute and learn at Building Lasting Change. The event features five streams:

    • Examining the intersections between green buildings and new technologies

    • The role of sustainable buildings in the new low carbon world

    • Accelerating and broadening your impact

    • Retrofits for a clean and resilient economy

    • Harmonizing social, economic and environmental sustainability
