Advancing holistic sustainability means addressing the three pillars of sustainability through design—creating new solutions that bridge industry boundaries to deal with climate change’s real economic, social, and environmental impacts. The cross-industry panel of experts will discuss how these three pillars can intersect, overlap and come into conflict. Discussion will continue with an exploration of the technology, policies, and strategies in business, design, media and landscape architecture that can help enact meaningful change for our planet and our communities.
