AIA Seattle Climate Leadership Summit - Practicing Equity and Advocacy In Rapid Decarbonization

Equitable Life-Cycles in Healthy Material Sourcing
We must take a whole life cycle approach to healthy material sourcing that considers the spectrum of upstream and downstream impacts of decarbonization and supports equitable outcomes for communities. Expanding on the focus of last year’s Just Transition Summit, this session will investigate healthy building strategies, labor and supply chain implications, materials toxicity and chemical concerns that affect the lived experiences of users, and historical and current community design practices.

Panelists:
Moderator: Mark Vossler | President, Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility
Nora Rizzo | Sustainable Materials Director, Grace Farms Foundation
Gina Ciganik | CEO, Healthy Building Network
Bradford C. Grant | Professor of Architecture, Howard University
Mike Schade | Mind the Store Campaign Director, Toxic-Free Future
