Stronger Together: Sustainable Networks
Listen now
Description
Sustainability is a team effort. No organization can achieve carbon neutrality on its own but, by working together, we can enact a holistic plan of sustainability that creates a cleaner, safer and healthier built environment. This episode features Clare de Briere, EVP and Regional Manager at Skanska USA Commercial Development, and Executive Committee Chair at Urban Land Institute Americas; Cristina Gamboa, CEO at the World Green Building Council; and Sylvester Turner, Mayor of Houston.  Together, these three leaders describe ways that industry and civic collaboration creates successful sustainability initiatives: - Clare describes the ULI’s Greenprint network and how it promotes partnerships across public municipalities and private organizations. - Cristina outlines a holistic model of sustainability and how the sharing of that model provides a blueprint that guides net-zero development around the world. - Sylvester explains how he and his fellow city leaders openly learn from each other’s projects to find new ways to implement local sustainability initiatives.
