CarbonPositive RESET! 1.5°C Global Teach-In

The What: The CarbonPositive RESET! 1.5°C Global Teach-In is scheduled as full-day “how-to” events in three global regions and time zones, and will showcase the most effective building materials, construction methods, design tools, architecture and planning strategies, practices and policies for dramatically and rapidly reducing the embodied and operational carbon emissions as we take this critical moment to RESET targets and actions to meet the Paris Agreement.

Join Architecture 2030 and experts from around the world this September to learn and accelerate the changes needed to make carbon reductions that can limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial temperatures. CarbonPositive RESET! will be segmented into morning general sessions and afternoon breakout sessions that will explore all aspects of the built environment – check out the agenda for more information.

 The When: Teach-In Dates:

• September 8, 2020 – North America and South America
• September 17, 2020 – Europe, Middle East and Africa
• September 22, 2020 – Asia, Asia Pacific and Oceania

The Where: Online.

The Who: Members of the architecture, engineering, planning, policy making, construction, development, and climate change communities, and anyone is who committed to doing something about the global movement to dramatically reduce the embodied and operational carbon emissions.
