SUMMARY:EBC Webinar: From Barriers to Blueprints: Evolving Environmental Regulations for a Resilient Future
DESCRIPTION:The Climate Adaptation Forum is a collaboration between the Environmental Business Council and the Sustainable Solutions Lab at the University of Massachusetts Boston. \nAs the climate crisis accelerates\, state and local governments are rethinking outdated policies and building a regulatory foundation for climate resilience. This Forum will spotlight innovative approaches to updating regulations\, many of which were originally written without climate change in mind\, to support adaptation projects that address sea level rise\, flooding\, and extreme weather. \nThrough case studies from across the U.S.\, including New Jersey’s overhaul of land use policies\, Cape Cod’s climate-focused regional plan\, and the Vermont Flood Safety Act\, we’ll explore how forward-looking jurisdictions are embedding climate adaptation into permitting\, zoning\, and design standards. \nSpeakers will discuss the process of developing enforceable frameworks\, the importance of accommodating dynamic coastlines and shifting baselines\, and the tools being used to navigate uncertainty. \nAttendees will gain insight into how regulations are being reshaped as catalysts for resilient infrastructure\, healthy ecosystems\, and equitable community protection. \nForum Speakers\nCommissioner Shawn M. LaTourette\nDepartment of Environmental Protection\nState of New Jersey \n\nHeather McElroy\nNatural Resources Program Manager\nCape Cod Commission \n\nLauren Oates\nDirector of External Affairs in Vermont\nThe Nature Conservancy \n\nModerated Panel Discussion  \nForum Co-Chairs\n \nJoseph Famely\nClimate & Sustainability Team Lead\nWoods Hole Group\, Inc. \n\nKyle Johnson\nClimate Resiliency Practice Lead (East Division)\nKleinfelder\n \n\n  \nBeth Lambert\nDirector\, Division of Ecological Restoration\nDepartment of Fish and Game\, Commonwealth of Massachusetts

SUMMARY:EBC Webinar: Climate Resiliency Funding in 2025: Updates\, Challenges\, and Creative Strategies
DESCRIPTION:This EBC Climate Change Webinar will provide timely updates on federal and state funding programs previously presented in October 2024. Recent legal and legislative developments have limited access to available climate resources at the federal level. States\, regions\, and communities are increasingly allocating resources to fight climate change and develop resiliency-related funding sources to proactively adapt to expected climate impacts. As climate events continue to become more frequent and severe\, where does this leave us now? \nThis webinar will explore creative and emerging funding strategies\, including case studies and insights from both former federal staff and regional leaders. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how states like Massachusetts and Maine\, alongside private and philanthropic partners\, are mobilizing resources to advance climate adaptation and resiliency initiatives. \nA robust audience Q&A will conclude the webinar.

SUMMARY:NESEA: BuildingEnergy NYC 2025
DESCRIPTION:NESEA’s BuildingEnergy NYC conference and trade show is a chance to immerse yourself in a full day of networking and intensive learning with your peers from the fields of design\, construction\, engineering\, policy\, finance\, and beyond. This unique event is designed by and for our community of practitioners\, ensuring that the content is useful\, relevant\, and on the leading edge. Conference sessions present best practices and lessons learned based on real case studies and proven data\, as well as showcasing innovative technologies and programs. If you are a building sustainability professional in any stage of your career\, please join us on Thursday\, October 16 at Convene 237 Park Avenue in New York City! \nConference Theme: Action and Adaptation\nThe NESEA community has always been a force for courageous\, innovative change. The climate movement in the United States is at a pivotal moment this year\, with federal government actions likely to slow or even reverse progress toward established targets. At the same time\, we are facing the rising frequency and severity of extreme weather events—uprooting people’s lives and costing billions of dollars annually. In this new climate reality and complex policy environment\, it is more important than ever for us to find creative ways to adapt and move forward with confidence\, and to design buildings that will continue to perform at the highest level while withstanding these changing conditions. \nThe 2025 BuildingEnergy NYC conference will focus on how those of us in the building industries can continue to take effective action by incorporating resilience\, adaptation\, and mitigation strategies towards large-scale climate goals\, while navigating an environment where regulatory and funding structures are unpredictable. We all must think critically and innovatively about the approaches that are feasible to continue driving impact in an uncertain national landscape\, as well as how design and policy considerations themselves can look toward the future and center climate adaptation. \nWho Attends\nBuildingEnergy NYC attendees are leaders and emerging professionals from across the Northeast\, committed to developing a more sustainable\, healthy\, and resilient built environment. They represent a wide range of industries\, backgrounds\, and levels of experience.
