Join us for a unique opportunity to work directly with experts to experience a transformative approach to design that reduces the carbon footprint of the built environment and even leads to positive outcomes for our climate. In this engaging workshop, we’ll delve into understanding the embodied carbon impacts of landscape and public realm projects and the opportunities for carbon sequestration through the concept of Climate Positive Design. Using a Toronto site as a charrette case study, participants will be guided to use the Climate Positive Design Pathfinder tool to discover how their design choices can drive meaningful change toward projects that remove more carbon from the atmosphere than they emit.
