A Discussion with Former White House Building Sector Climate Policy Director

Join us for a timely and thought-provoking talk with Heather Clark, former White House Senior Director for Building Sector Climate Policy (2022–2025), as she makes the case for uniting two of today’s most urgent movements: housing abundance and climate action.

In this session, Heather will explore how pro-housing policy and climate goals can align to create a clean, affordable, and equitable built environment. Drawing from her experience shaping national building sector climate policy in the Biden-Harris administration and her earlier work as an affordable housing developer, Heather will highlight the opportunities—and challenges—of integrating decarbonization, clean energy, and climate resilience into housing policy at scale.

This event is a must-attend for students and professionals interested in climate, housing, infrastructure, and economic justice.
