Recordings of past Sustainable Pittsburgh Policy Connection webinars
Join Sustainable Pittsburgh and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Economic Impact & Diversity to learn more about new and existing resources available for local governments to advance environmental justice and increase clean infrastructure investments in your community.
Diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces and communities are crucial for achieving a sustainable region where all people can access the opportunities and resources they need to thrive. Workplaces that promote social equity through their operations and practices can better attract and retain top talent and foster innovation than their peers.
Presenters describe how they are creating circular economies that provide dignified work, turn waste into feedstocks, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, bolster the supply chain, stimulate innovation, and benefit the bottom line. Learn about circular economy opportunities and practical considerations.
Expand upon your carbon reduction strategy by learning more about embodied carbon and some opportunities for reducing it through our building construction and renovation decisions?
Learn about innovations of the refreshed Sustainable Pittsburgh Shop and Sustainable Pittsburgh Restaurant programs, as well as the Sustainable Pennsylvania Certification, which is offered in partnership with the Pennsylvania Municipal League. And find out about the new Sustainable Pittsburgh Workplace program and friendly-competition Sprints — a high-impact, materiality-based reinvention of the Sustainable Pittsburgh Challenge.
Learn how reducing your organization’s carbon emissions can cut energy costs; build your brand’s reputation with employees, customers, and other stakeholders; spur innovation; and even increase your bottom line — all while helping to address the climate crisis.
