MISSION AND THEME
The causes and effects of climate change are well understood and the solutions are many and attainable. The built environment has played a significant role in the causes of climate change but now can play a large role in reversing it. In the past, green buildings were designed to do less harm, or more recently to have net zero impact, on the environment they were in. Now, we are understanding that the built environment needs to be designed to help regenerate the environment it shares, in order to maximize its role in climate change mitigation and adaptation. To reverse the negative impacts the built environment has made, it is time for it to replenish water supplies, regenerate natural resources and provide energy to the surrounding communities. We need to be building positive: Building+.
The San Diego Green Building Council’s mission has always been to inspire, educate and collaborate with our communities to champion design innovations that make our region and beyond more resilient and sustainable. The goal of SDGBCE23 is to showcase projects and ideas that are pushing boundaries of design, construction, organizational change or policy that will get us Building Positive - therefore this year's theme is: Building+ Cultivating a Regenerative Future.
