Livable Louisville: Addressing local climate risks through planning and design.

Across the country, Americans are facing the effects of a changing climate with increased extreme weather events like hurricanes, tornados, and heat waves causing poor air quality, dangerous forest fires, and flooding. Recent studies predict Kentucky’s risk of extreme heat, drought, wildfires, and inland floods will increase significantly.

At the 2023 Louisville Sustainability Council Summit, we explore the risks and stressors our region is facing and how our buildings and cities can adapt to this new normal and address the problems.

This half-day Summit will feature esteemed local and national speakers on topics relating to climate change, the built environment, and sustainable housing. The event will be immediately followed by an after party featuring a special sustainability-themed art exhibition at PORTAL @ fifteenTWELVE. All tickets will include admission to the Summit, Art Exhibition, and After Party including appetizers.
