HPAC 'On The Air': COP27 Recap with USGBC's Elizabeth Beardsley

Dec. 22, 2022
*NEW PODCAST* Just back from Egypt, the U.S. Green Building Council's lead emissary to the latest UN Climate Conference fills us in on the event's most relevant news for our industry.

Our returning guest this month is Elizabeth Beardsley, senior policy counsel for the U.S. Green Building Council. In that capacity, she last month led the USGBC delegation to the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference in Sharm El-SheikhEgypt, commonly referred to as 'COP27'. An environmental advocate with degrees in both civil engineering and law, Beardsley chats with us here about her latest experiences and compares them with her takeaways from COP26 in Scotland a year ago.

One overriding impression? "We're running out of time," she says.
