Communities worldwide are developing innovative programs and policies that reduce carbon emissions through building reuse, retrofit, and traditional practices. Drawing from the new Decarbonizing the Built Environment through Heritage Toolkit, this webinar highlights practical examples and case studies demonstrating how preservation and climate goals can work together. Participants will explore policies supporting adaptive reuse, embodied carbon reduction, and traditional low-carbon building practices. Learn how heritage-informed approaches help communities create more sustainable, resilient, and climate-positive futures.

This webinar is part 2 of a 3-part Heritage Now! webinar series.
