  2. What is the city doing to help the private sector meet the sustainability targets set out in the NYC Climate Mobilization Act and Law 97?

  3. What type of corporate strategies have been implemented? Which ones have proven to be effective in supporting sustainability measures thus far? Do these strategies need to be adjusted in the face of the pandemic?

  4. Are the latest batch of glass towers in the city already obsolete in climate terms? What does that mean for investors and leasing?

  5. Will the future of sustainable buildings be driven by technology or something more organic?
