Help Shape the future of our movement at a critical inflection point.
The green building movement has failed.
The green building movement has failed.
Despite our best efforts, global environmental health has declined and catastrophic climate change impacts are now inevitable.
Our community is weaker and less influential than we’ve been in twenty years, even while our message is needed more than ever.
Political headwinds have drastically shifted and the old ways no longer work.
Yet with death, rebirth is possible… into something different and stronger.
But only with your help….
Join us for a seminal inflection point in the green building movement, as we gather to discuss the end of the green building movement as we’ve known it and the rebirth of something stronger.
WHAT
The Summit will feature key leaders in the green building movement and an intimate crowd of knowledgeable and passionate practitioners. Led by Jason F. McLennan (founder of the Living Future Institute) the discussion will focus on the grief and loss associated with the failure of our movement to create the change we needed within the wider environmental tragedy unfolding. Balanced with grief will be reflections on hope and collective strategic planning on where we go from here.
Out of the ashes new ideas need to emerge and a movement reborn.
