Creating An Inclusive Climate Future

​Join us for a day of insight and action at Designing A More Inclusive Climate Future, a DC Climate Week event focused on how we can reimagine the built environment through the lenses of equity, resilience, and innovation.

This mini-summit will convene thought leaders from across architecture, engineering, construction, and climate tech to explore how inclusive design and workforce development strategies can accelerate our response to the climate crisis—especially in historically excluded communities.
