Building Resilience: Adaptations for a Changing Climate in Nevada
The importance of resilience in our built environment cannot be overstated. 2024 and 2023 saw the highest number of billion-dollar disasters on record in U.S. history (NOAA). The increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, wildfires, floods and heat waves can disrupt critical infrastructure, endanger lives and damage property. Our built environment must be designed, constructed and operated to mitigate risk and sustain our communities.
USGBC works to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built, and operated — resilience is a clear extension of this work. We know that more sustainable buildings are the cornerstone to enhancing community resilience.
USGBC’s Building Transformation Forums convene industry leaders, practitioners, and sustainability professionals to learn and engage around specific, locally relevant topics. Built around growing connections and green building education, forum models adapt to meet audience needs and inspire action. Check out our calendar on usgbc.org to see our upcoming forums nationwide.
This forum also includes a deep-dive interactive workshop with USGBC staff specializing in the TRUE rating system. Participants will be given the tools to transform their waste management plan into a commodity resource, zero-waste-based plan to create a circular economy locally and globally. Focus will be on the key components of the TRUE Rating System and on hands-on opportunities to collaborate and apply strategies directly to their own projects.
Join USGBC Nevada to discuss leading edge examples, best practices and USGBC tools and resources to support your resilience goals.
