AIA Seattle's 2023 (Virtual) Climate Summit: Decarbonization for Health Equity & Community Resilience

The increased urgency of our climate crisis and global health emergencies demand responses that recognize decarbonization is directly correlated to health equity and community resilience.

Through examining 1) indoor air quality and the right to positive health outcomes; 2) adaptive reuse strategies, the circular economy, and electrification; and 3) case studies demonstrating what “good” looks like through responsible building in projects and practice, this year’s thought leadership summit will take a systems-approach to explore high-impact decarbonization strategies that nurture our communities and ecosystems. 

  • How do we redefine “standard of care” to ensure climate-smart solutions?

  • What does it look like to co-create with community to achieve our goals?

  • How do we design resilient and adaptable buildings that can evolve?

  • Ultimately, how do we leverage our shared responsibility to support a sustainable future?
