  About this Event
  In order to achieve truly green projects, everyone on a project team – contractor, engineer, developer, owner, and others – need to understand green building principles. Kirksey EcoServices has developed a rigorous preparatory class focused on the LEED Green Associate exam and has graduated more than 2,200 industry partners.

  With the growing influence of environmentally responsible design and construction practices, a knowledge of green building strategies is a valuable asset for anyone associated with the building industry. Kirksey's LEED Green Associate Prep Class is a resource for those who are interested in gaining the LEED Green Associate credential. 

  Space is limited, and registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.  Class participants are responsible for scheduling their exam date. For more information, visit www.gbci.org.   There is a limit of two class attendances per person. Attendees must be 21 years or older. Kirksey reserves the right to cancel classes up to 48 hours in advance in the event of low registration. Kirksey does not offer a LEED AP prep class.

  IMPLEMENTING CLIMATE ACTION
  Discussion with Texas Cities

  Tuesday, September 29th

  Online meeting 

  3:00 PM - 4:30 PM

  
  

  
  

  About the Event:
  
  

  In 2017, six Texas cities -- including Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio -- signed onto the Climate Mayors’ National Climate Agreement in support of the Paris Agreement and its international emission reduction targets set in 2016 and the goal to keep warming at or below 1.5 degrees Celsius.  Additionally, environmental injustices of the past are being recognized and solutions created to address them, placing equity at the center of this effort towards a more resilient future for all.
  

  To fulfill this commitment, each is creating and implementing a climate action and adaptation plan with the help of nonprofit and academic institutions, private sector experts, and community input.  To date implementation of these plans has begun in San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas.  The update to Austin’s existing plan (2014) is due later this summer as well as one from El Paso later this year.
  

  Each of these plans include multiple strategies to address issues across the spectrum of a city's operations, investments, and infrastructure.  This discussion will focus on implementing those strategies involving the core competencies of USGBC Texas and our members.

  
  

  Climate Action Plans:

  Austin:  Community Climate Plan Update
  Dallas: Comprehensive Environmental & Climate Action Plan
  Houston: Houston Climate Action Plan
