The built environment is responsible for over 40% of carbon emissions globally and nearly one-third of the emissions produced in the U.S. (USGBC’s 2023 report on the State of Decarbonization).  Decarbonizing buildings, targeting reductions in operational, embodied, refrigerants and transportation emissions, is essential to meeting our collective climate goals.

Join USGBC Minnesota for a Building Transformation Forum exploring practical tools, resources and strategies to support building decarbonization at the project or portfolio level. Given the scale of carbon emissions produced by the built environment, the building industry holds the potential to make an enormous contribution towards curbing global warming and the effects of climate change.
