2030 Districts are public/private partnerships that bring property owners and managers together with government, businesses, and community members to create a business case for urban sustainability through dialogue, financing, and resources. The are groups of building owners, mangers, and stakeholders who are taking initiative to reduce the environmental impact of buildings in their area.
These initiatives, in combination with legislation such as Energy Disclosure By-laws will work together to address and mitigate the emission of buildings.
Congratulations to Sheena, and best of luck in her role on Toronto 2030 District Advisory Board.
