U.S. Green Building Council Co-Sponsors Nationwide Carbon Webcast

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) co-sponsored a nationwide webcast on climate change called “Face It” on Wednesday, January 30. The webcast was hosted by Architecture 2030, a research organization that focuses on the role of buildings in global climate change, and focused on Architecture 2030’s approach to halt global warming.

“Buildings account for 39 percent of all CO2 emissions in the United States, and building green is an immediate and measurable solution to mitigating climate change,” said Michelle Moore, senior vice president of policy and public affairs for USGBC.  “Educating the construction leaders of tomorrow is a core part of USGBC’s mission, and our support of Architecture 2030 in this essential webcast is a critical part of that.”   

The webcast is now available for download at www.architecture2030.org.

In addition to sponsoring the Face It webcast, USGBC is hosting a series of online Carbon Reduction educational seminars aimed at assisting building industry professionals and business and organizational leaders who want to reduce the carbon footprint of their building projects or organizations. USGBC is partnering with climate change experts including the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, World Resources Institute and CTG Energetics Inc., and media partner Stamats Commercial Buildings Group to bring the series to computers across the world.
