Grounding the Green New Deal: A Summit on Design, Policy, and Advocacy

There is an essential role for the built environment disciplines in addressing the climate crisis. Through 2 keynote presentations and 3 panel discussions with leading changemakers, the Grounding the Green New Deal Summit examined the intersection of policy, design, and advocacy to identify ways to accelerate action. The summit was held on April 9, 2022 at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC.
