2026 Spring Panel: “Affordable Net Zero: Building for Carbon, Cost, and Community Resilience”

Net-Zero and carbon-neutral projects are not only possible—they represent a necessary and forward‑looking path for our industry. As educated professionals, we understand both the feasibility of these projects and the misconceptions that often surround them. 

In a city like Chicago—celebrated for its architecture, art, and diversity yet long shaped by segregation and inequitable policies—leaders pursuing Net-Zero work now have powerful opportunities to reshape how investment flows across neighborhoods, particularly those historically disadvantaged. 

Join PWC Chicago at the 2026 Spring Panel where a dynamic conversation among practitioners operating under these new norms, explores how Net-Zero strategies can drive just, equitable, and community-centered progress throughout Chicagoland.

Panelists to be announced in early April.
