climate crisis
The theme of this year's symposium is Climate emergency. In the words of the organizers:
We are experiencing climate change. That is why it is so important today to take concerted action for sustainable design and retrofitting of existing buildings. Recognizing the potential of sustainable building, the industry continues to take pro-environmental measures, and the PLGBC Green Building Symposium serves as a driver of innovation. It is a key venue for experience and information sharing, learning, interaction and technology that will lead to greater efficiency, a safer environment, a better quality of life and a future. Engaging the green building community, including architecture and design, is an opportunity to create a new standard of living for all of us.
