The Net Zero World Initiative is pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar (Tuesday 3/19) "Partnerships for International Buildings Decarbonization: U.S.-sponsored Programs and Opportunities for Industry Collaboration". Net Zero World is the Department of Energy (DOE)-led, whole-of-government project focused on advancing the decarbonization of global energy systems with our country partners. Speakers from across DOE and the national labs will introduce cooperative building efficiency and decarbonization projects organized by Net Zero World, the Partnership for Transatlantic Energy and Climate Cooperation, and the joint cooling initiative with India. The conversation will highlight current projects and upcoming opportunities for U.S. industry to partner with key international stakeholders to accelerate the transition to net zero, resilient, and inclusive built environment. Speakers will also solicit feedback about priorities and challenges in international markets. https://lnkd.in/gm6n6zrA

🌍 The Impact of the Meetings Industry: What Matters Most? As professionals in the meetings industry, it's crucial to understand the multifaceted impacts our events have on the world. 1️⃣ Direct Expenditure: This involves the spending by all exhibitors at events, including hotels, event organizers, convention centers, and more. 2️⃣ Indirect Expenditure: This includes the suppliers, such as accommodation, transport, technical equipment, and catering services. 3️⃣ Multiplicative Effects: Our industry creates full-time and part-time jobs, generating income and tax revenue at local and national levels. 4️⃣ Regenerative Effects: The ripple effects of our industry touch science, tourism, culture, and sustainability by fostering new technologies, encouraging scientific research, promoting local culture, and supporting local self-sufficiency. As event organizers, we have a unique opportunity and responsibility to drive change. Let's design events that embody social and environmental equality and inspire our attendees to do the same. Together, we can shoulder the burden of climate change and lead the way toward a sustainable future.

Convergence 14 November 2024 I was just remembering the first "convergence" or "no-fly conference" that was actually the result of a Transition Engineering project. The shift project was to put in extra work organising and downshift fossil fuel use. Seven venues from the top to the bottom of New Zealand met in their local venue with other locals, but connected to the rest of the country through the hard work of university and council IT wizards and super support of a company. This first Convergence was in 2010. We searched and researched and could not find another example of such a conference. It took a good 8 months of design and testing, but the result was quite inspirational according to the attendees. Since 2010, there was a little disruption in Christchurch with our city getting knocked down by earthquakes, but then we got back up and ran several more of these, adding in an overlapping session with the GATE in the UK. The GOOD NEWS is that there will be a Convergence this year 14 November. Please join the global organising committee, and organise your local convergence. We would love to have you involved, organise your own convergence point, come along to the convergence points in Orkney (Florian Ahrens), Edinburgh (Antigoni Vlachouli), London (Daniel Kenning), Chemnitz Germany (Lisa-Marie Nettlenbusch), or Wellington, New Zealand (Grant Symons). Here is the paper explaining how a Convergence has numerous benefits and 1000 times lower emissions.

Today EPA Webinar- Quantified Climate Action Measures Directory. This is a great resource for CPRG grant awardees. The webinar will describe the research methods used to develop the directory, present summary findings about the examples within the directory, and demonstrate how to use the directory. The directory identifies approaches that existing plans have used to quantify GHG reduction measures and links to more detailed information in state and local planning documents. Planning award grantees under EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program can use the directory to identify tools related to the program’s GHG quantification requirements for both priority climate action plans and comprehensive climate action plans and identify other jurisdictions with related quantification expertise. If you have time to catch this today Eric W. Pollard. #cprg #GHGreduction #justice40
