Healthy Economy Forum by presented by USGBC
Healthy people in healthy places equals a healthy economy.
The impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic will be felt for years to come – on the economy, on people, and on our way of life. Join Corporate Sustainability Strategies and industry leaders as we share our knowledge on “The Business Case for Healthy Buildings in a Post-COVID Era.”
The world we return to might look nothing like the one we’ve left behind. To support the global recovery, our ideas must be relevant to people and scalable across different building types, new markets and diverse contexts throughout the world. This requires new steps, discipline of measuring our progress and disruptive thinking.
USGBC is outlining a series of actions and priorities that will support the global recovery effort and leverage the power of our community to shape a healthier future for all.
