Systems are all connected – from the built infrastructure to the communities and places that serve as context. A movement is underway to green it all, as exemplified by taking renewables from a niche sector to a strategic part of the whole picture. New federal funding is leading the way with new, potentially game-changing investments.
How do we ramp up spending on climate change and embed climate-ready tech to scale to transform the effects of climate and center equity? Who are the actors and what are the tools that can make a difference and meet the challenge? What are the inflection points and how can planners help lead innovation? This presentation tackles those questions. Learn to facilitate a stronger and more equitable innovation ecosystem and unlock the full potential of climate solutions to drive the massive transformation needed to build resilience to climate change.
