Join the Decarbonization Symposium organized by Pratt Institute’s Housing Consortium for Earth Day 2022 (4/22/2022) from 9 am ET to 12 pm ET on Zoom. Registration is free and available at Meeting Registration - Zoom .
The Symposium will dive into the challenges and opportunities of decarbonization of the built environment – with a special focus on efforts to reduce embodied and operational carbon emissions in New York City. Participants will learn about the challenges of understanding embodied carbon in building materials and products – and why we must prioritize the reduction of embodied carbon emissions now, rather than merely focusing on lowering operational emissions.
