Sidara companies are partnering with the Brooklyn Borough President to host a day-long Sustainable Cities Summit as part of Climate Week NYC on Wednesday, 25 September.
Hosted at Brooklyn Borough Hall, the summit will bring together a list of high-profile speakers, including Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and NYS Sen. Liz Krueger, leaders from both public and private sectors, as well as experts from across Sidara’s global collaborative of companies.
The day’s focus will be on implementable solutions that move the dial in making New York a more sustainable, healthier place to live, work and do business. Sessions will include sustainable mobility and transit policy; decarbonizing cities and districts through better planning, design and construction; net-zero schools; and minimizing the carbon footprint of data centers.
Climate Week NYC brings together over 600 events and activities across the city of New York. Events are being held between 22 and 29 September and will convene business leaders, political change makers, local decision takers and civil society representatives of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the world.
This year will see Sidara companies TYLin, Introba, Perkins&Will and Currie & Brown come together to host the event in conjunction with Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso.
Michael Shamma, New York Metro Executive, TYLin, commented:
“As a group of companies, we have a long history of climate action here in New York. The city has been at the forefront of change generations so it’s fitting that we should be discussing solutions to the greatest challenge our world has ever faced here in the heart of the city.
“With only 9,000 days left until our world needs to achieve net zero, we don’t have the luxury of time. So, finding the solutions that are actionable, scalable and have the greatest impact for the city and all who live and visit here will be the sole focus of our discussions.”
Brooklyn Borough President, Antonio Reynoso, said:
“Becoming a sustainable city isn’t a choice nor should it be a luxury – it’s both an imperative and a responsibility. Every year, we see the dangers of the climate crisis up close in New York City. Whether it’s flooded streets and homes or skies orange with smoke, we cannot wait to safeguard our neighborhoods against the harms of an unhealthy, damaged environment.
“I’m so grateful to Sidara firms, TYLin, Introba, Perkins&Will, and Currie & Brown for putting together this urgent and important summit. A big thank you to our panelists as well, who brought wide-ranging expertise to Borough Hall to help our city on the way to a greener future.”
