As local jurisdictions look for ways to meet more aggressive climate goals, many are considering decarbonizing existing municipal buildings. However, there are still myths and barriers that keep jurisdictions from taking on projects and ensuring there are no missed opportunities. This Forum will share information and local examples to help jurisdictions develop a more complete picture of the opportunities and challenges for decarbonizing their own portfolios. This free event is open to all.
