Even as climate change threatens the entire world, vulnerable communities continue to bear the brunt of the crisis. The building industry has a moral obligation to recognize and address this tragedy by examining its own role in perpetuating inequity and leading in the fight for environmental justice. Joyce Coffee, LEED AP, founder and president, Climate Resilience Consulting; Ifeoma Ebo, LEED AP, NOMA, founding director, Creative Urban Alchemy, LLC; Arathi Gowda, AIA, AICP, LEED AP BD+C, associate director, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), and others address actions the industry should take and the need to recognize how climate change, economic and social inequity are intertwined. The program is facilitated by Dawveed Scully, associate director, SOM.
