Public Sector Roundtable: Advancing Urban Sustainability and Climate Resilience

Wednesday, November 5 | 1:00 - 2:00 PM | Room: 153 BC

Description: Connect with your fellow public sector leaders for a dynamic one-hour roundtable focused on accelerating climate action, green building, and sustainability. Hosted in Los Angeles, this session provides a collaborative space for planners, policymakers, sustainability and resilience teams, elected officials, and other government leaders to share strategies, challenges, and innovations shaping the future of urban climate leadership.

Participants will explore products, policy tools, and programs providing scalable solutions for building resilient, low-carbon communities. Whether you're advancing climate adaptation, updating building codes, or engaging communities in sustainability efforts, this roundtable offers peer exchange and actionable insights to support a healthier, more sustainable future.

Who Should Attend: Local government staff (including planners, sustainability officers, facility managers, city/county managers, and elected officials), regional, state and federal government agencies, NGOs working with cities and counties, consultants, students and emerging professionals, USGBC members, and anyone interested in contributing to urban climate solutions.

Learning objectives:

• Identify effective local government strategies for advancing climate action, green building, and sustainability in urban communities.
• Explore policy innovations and implementation challenges related to climate resilience, equity-centered planning, and low-carbon development.
• Share and evaluate scalable solutions that support cross-jurisdictional collaboration and community engagement in sustainability efforts.
