The global economy is set to double in size over the next 20 years. By taking the available opportunities to become more energy efficient, we could power all the extra cars, homes and factories this growth will bring with the same amount of energy we use today. Unfortunately, the reality is that the US is experiencing an alarming slowdown in energy efficiency progress. What can we do to change course? Ruth Gratzke, CEO of Siemens Smart Infrastructure, Richard Yancey, Founding Director of Buildings Energy Exchange, and Paula Glover, President of Alliance to Save Energy will distill everything you need to know.

What if the core solution to adapting to climate change and preventing a more significant natural threat was to thoroughly revisit how we build and renovate our cities, individual houses, and infrastructures? The built environment sector accounts for 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The negative role of construction facing climate change and depletion of natural resources increases proportionally with rapid urbanization driven by strong population growth. Our need for more houses and buildings, cities, and infrastructures, unfortunately also means higher carbon costs, energy dependency, and more irreversible environmental damage. Andrew Eil, Head of Climate Risk for North America, Tata, Consultancy Services will join Mark Rayfield, CEO of Saint-Gobain North America, Alan Steel, CEO President of the Javits Center, Andrew Kimball, President of New York City Economic Development in a conversation about how existing construction solutions can help make the planet a better home.

Wednesday, 9/21 4:25 PM - 4:55 PM
The climate crisis is so serious it is no longer enough to reduce emissions, we also need to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere if we are to reverse the harmful effects of global warming. High-integrity, permanent CO2 removals, including engineered carbon removals, will play a vital role in this, whilst helping businesses on their decarbonization journey and beyond to net-negative emissions. Together, Drax & Respira will discuss this developing carbon market and projects that can help it to grow, including the opportunity available to businesses to go further, faster, today.
