As climate pressures intensify across Georgia, the future of resilient communities depends on solutions that are not only high performing and low carbon—but people centered. Impact Symposium: Georgia brings together practitioners, community leaders, and sustainability professionals to discuss People Powered Resilience in Green Building - an in-depth exploration of how human health, equity, and climate readiness intersect in the built environment. 

Highlighting the latest innovations in LEED v5, with a focus on the new Climate Resilience and Human Impact Assessment tools that elevate community needs, vulnerability, and wellbeing as core design drivers, participants will learn how these frameworks help project teams anticipate climate risks, reduce exposures, and create buildings that support occupant health, safety, and long-term adaptability. 

A dedicated panel on equity in green building will examine how resilience strategies can strengthen—not widen—community disparities. Speakers will discuss pathways for inclusive engagement, alignment with local resilience planning, and practical approaches to ensuring that sustainability benefits are shared across neighborhoods and demographics.
