The built environment is responsible for 40% of global carbon emissions, and 80% of 2050’s building stock already exists.
It means cities, buildings and real estate have a huge role to play in effective climate action.
On May 17, CityAge and SNC-Lavalin are bringing together leaders from across North America to address the policy, technology and investment actions that can help decarbonize existing buildings.
Join us for this important discussion.

Anchor Welcome & Introduction
Presentation: Isabelle Smith, Director - Engineering Net Zero, SNC Lavalin
Panel 1: Accelerating the Decarbonization of Buildings
Buildings contribute significantly to global CO2 emissions, and are “low-hanging fruit” in the race to reduce building emissions. But it’s still a massive endeavor that requires focus on the highest leverage measures. This panel will explore tools and strategies, such as better data and specific policy measures, to efficiently decarbonize public buildings and make a lasting impact.
Presentation: Marie-Claude Lavoie, Associate Vice-President, Facilities Management, Concordia University
Presentation: Dave Ramslie, CEO, OPEN Technologies
Panel 2: Tools to Accelerate Private Action
Innovative funding strategies to drive retrofits are essential to drive rapid action toward decarbonization. What is the emerging edge of finance in this sector? How can investors accelerate results, and can we drive massive job growth at the intersection of green finance and building trades?
