  1. Cities are Driving Climate Change. Here's How They Can Fix It
    • Speaker: Angel Hsu, Climate and Data Scientist
    • Thanks to TED Countdown for allowing us to share this important content from their 2020 Countdown event. Cities pump out 70 percent of all global carbon emissions -- which means they also have the greatest opportunity to lower CO2 levels and energy consumption. Climate and data scientist Angel Hsu shares how cities around the world are leading the response to climate change by innovating new, low-carbon ways of living.
       
  2. Greenbuild Presents: Developing a Corporate Sustainability Program - Lessons Learned from Informa’s CSO
    • Speaker: Ben Wielgus, Informa
    • Developing a Sustainability Program is often less a linear path and more a winding journey with successes, challenges and surprises along the way. Informa PLC. is a FTSE 100 company, and parent company of the Greenbuild International Conference + Expo. In this session, Informa’s Chief Sustainability Officer, Ben Wielgus, discusses his path to implementing a rapidly growing and constantly improving program. He’ll discuss what his team learned from missteps along the way, and how he sees the role of the sustainability professional evolving to become one of integral leadership in the organization.
