Getting to Zero Forum Convenes Professionals Working to Accelerate Climate Solutions
With buildings representing 39% of U.S. carbon emissions, the built environment is an essential part of the solution to curb the growing impacts of climate change. Leaders in building efficiency and decarbonization will gather Oct. 27-29 in New York City for the 2021 Getting to Zero Forum, the nation’s premier event dedicated to solutions that are urgently needed to reduce energy demand and carbon emissions in the built environment.
The forum convenes expert industry professionals, including state and local governments, architects, engineers, contractors, owner/developers, manufacturers, service providers, consultants and others, who are working to accelerate action that could keep global temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius—the threshold needed to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. This year’s organizers, including New Buildings Institute (NBI), RMI and local host NYSERDA, are excited to bring together this cross-section of leaders in building decarbonization ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26).
