SKYSCRAPER MUSEUM's video: Climate Week NYC: Timber Matters

During Climate Week, on Tuesday, September 24 at 1-3pm, the Museum will host a panel discussion presented by MassTimber@MSU and the Colorado Mass Timber Coalition. Lindsey Wikstrom, author of Designing the Forest and Other Mass Timber Futures (Routledge, 2023), will moderate a panel of mass timber leaders from across the U.S. who will highlight programs, policies, people, and practices that are advancing mass timber ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, Michigan/the Great Lakes Region, Georgia, New England, and New York City. RSVP through the Climate Week website! For the building sector, climate advocacy NOW means investing in low carbon steel and concrete technologies, or finding alternatives. The Museum has been championing sustainable building with our current focus on Mass Timber, a new family of engineered wood products that greatly reduces the harmful environmental impact of new buildings. Over the past 6 months, we have presented an 8-part "semester" of talks that have explored the short but promising history of Mass Timber and its potential to transform the building industry. We invite you to take a deep dive into mass timber this Climate Week by watching the lectures.
