Like the #climateweekNYC before it, the overall vibes at Greenbuild International Conference & Expo were #positive, #energetic, and #ambitious. Yet, acknowledging the reality that collectively there’s more to be done and to be fixed. That was a good #grounding. My personal takeaways & Observations: 🪴 #Fresh_Blood: for many this was their first Greenbuild. They brought fresh stream of perspectives, collaborative energy, and a reminder that his movement has more to offer. 🌊 #Resileincy: building for resiliency is on the verge of becoming the new norm and goal. I personally believe it’s THE core principle that a just and inclusive movement can rally behind for the coming decades. 💥 #Impact: holistically communicating impact is not an easy task but it’s essential to meet our stakeholders where they care. 🏙️ #Green_Buildings_Certifications: it was clear that the 30 years old certification model is due for an overhaul to be fit for purpose (delivering resiliency and communicating impact at scale). 👾 #Tech & #Data: there is lots of efforts to harness data and create bespoke #Data_Lakes but little is being offered on how it can inform decision making. 🌟 reconnecting with #friends is #invaluable and returning home with new friendships is a #joy. I returned back with an asserted #belief that we can do more meaningfully and purposefully.
