Sustainability is shaped by the systems that power our economy and communities, from energy and supply chains to workforce, capital, technology, and beyond.

At a moment of rapid change, the conversations around climate, energy, technology, and artificial intelligence are converging in new and consequential ways. Pittsburgh is uniquely positioned at the center of these shifts: a region built on industry, powered by world-class research and talent, and increasingly recognized as a hub for innovation and emerging technology.

Sustainable Pittsburgh’s signature annual summit brings these forces together to explore a defining question: How can we navigate and understand global change while building solutions that create lasting impact here at home?

Through dynamic conversations, real-world examples, and insights from organizations already leading the way, the summit will examine how decisions made in Pittsburgh are influenced by larger global systems and how the choices we make here can help shape what comes next.

This is where big-picture thinking meets local action. Where sustainability, industry, innovation, and technology intersect. And where the people building Pittsburgh’s next chapter come together to explore what’s possible.
