2020 Austin Green Awards pivots to virtual event reflecting on the past and looking toward the future.
The events of 2020 have brought into stark focus our collective challenges on racial equity, social justice and public health fronts, and prompted a re-set of how to assess the fundamental elements of projects going forward. Establishing a broader framework of intention with these metrics in place, taking action, and measuring results, will increasingly be the basis for determining success in the built environment, with a sense of greater urgency and opportunity that will define the next generation of sustainability in practice, just as the projects being designed and constructed today will have enormous consequence on Austin’s social, environmental, and health realities in the years ahead.
This year, we pivoted from our annual awards event to provide a virtual program with the theme of "Fulfilling the Promise of Sustainability." Our program began with a reflection on what we’ve learned over the past four years, with a retrospective of our 22 awarded projects, followed by a panel conversation to gain perspective on how to more explicitly consider diversity, equity and inclusion in our work going forward.
We would like to thank all of our sponsors, panelists and attendees for their continued support of the Austin Green Awards. You can watch a recording of the live virtual event with the link below.
