TANGIBLE REMNANTS – Heritage Preservation Meets Sustainability and Equity

Tangible Remnants

TANGIBLE REMNANTS The connection between the climate crisis and social inequality is evident and solving both will require rethinking how we use our buildings. Every building has value—from its materials to its history—and every project is a chance to address social and environmental challenges. Buildings create 40% of global CO2 emissions, so it’s crucial to reduce their carbon footprint. Building owners play a key role in our collective climate action battle and helping them reuse and improve their spaces sustainably is essential for creating a better future.
