KC Design Week Building Reuse is Climate Action

The connection between the climate crisis and social inequality is evident and solving both will require rethinking how we use our buildings. Every building has value—from its materials to its history—and every project is a chance to address social and environmental challenges. Buildings create 40% of global CO2 emissions so it's crucial to reduce their carbon footprint. Building owners play a key role in our collective climate action battle and helping them reuse and improve their spaces sustainably is essential for creating a better future. 

Join Nakita Reed a preservation architect who is a Senior Associate at Quinn Evans as she discusses her journey into the profession and delves into why building reuse is climate action.Nakita will share a dialogue with Emma Castro-Krivanek AIA President of NOMA KC. More info here: https://www.kcdesignweek.org/events/nakita-reed.
