Green Builder Media's Call to Action

In an era where the systems critical to our survival are increasingly under strain, Green Builder Media is stepping up to address these urgent challenges. Scheduled for June 3–4, 2026, the Sustainability Symposium 2026: Systems Reckoning will bring together thought leaders, industry experts, and innovative thinkers to confront pressing issues surrounding housing, energy, and climate risks. This year's symposium offers a unique opportunity to reassess how we measure value and design the fundamental structures of our future.

The Need for Change

The housing market is facing a crisis point as affordability tumbles, insurance rates rise, and energy systems buck under pressure. Old paradigms are becoming untenable, and many sectors are clinging to outdated assumptions that simply don’t address the realities of the 21st century. As Sara Gutterman, CEO of Green Builder Media, aptly remarked, this event is not just another conference filled with clichés; rather, it aims to provide a platform for challenging discussions that could reshape our built environment and policies.

Who to Expect

Attendees of the symposium will hear from an impressive lineup of speakers, including:

• - Bill McKibben, a renowned environmentalist who will dive into risk management in energy with his session titled "Power Shift: Rethinking Energy in a World at Risk."
• - Andrew Winston, a sustainability strategist who will provide insights on new risk models in his session "New Rules and Risk Models: Fixing the Math."
• - Laura Sullivan, NPR investigative correspondent who will lead discussions on real cost considerations involving resilience and affordability in the housing sector.
• - Megan Cordes, Sustainability Expert from Beazer Homes, will add her experience to the mix.

The sessions will explore a variety of critical topics including:

• - Housing affordability and resilience
• - The future of energy systems
• - Regenerative development strategies
• - Risk modeling initiatives

Making an Impact

This two-day event is designed to facilitate direct conversation about the ways we can redefine resilience, affordability, and value amid escalating disruptions.
