Building a Resilient, Sustainable, and Equitable Future
The AIA NJ Committee on the Environment (COTE) invites thought leaders, innovators, and advocates in sustainable architecture, urban planning, and design to submit proposals to present at the East Coast Green 2025 Virtual Conference, a two-day event dedicated to advancing and advocating for regenerative design practices.
This year's theme, "Regenerative Design: Building a Resilient, Sustainable, and Equitable Future," focuses on creating thoughtful solutions that respond to the pressing challenges of climate change, community resilience, and environmental justice. We seek compelling presentations that explore innovative strategies, research, and case studies that inspire action and advance sustainable, equitable, and resilient design.
We are seeking presentations on topics including but not limited to:
- Regenerative Design Strategies: Case studies and practices that restore and renew ecosystems, communities, and resources.
- Carbon Neutrality: Innovations in net-zero design, low carbon materials, and life cycle
analysis.
- Resilience and Adaptation: Designing for climate resilience and disaster preparedness.
- Equitable Design: Strategies for inclusive, accessible, and socially responsible
architecture.

waste minimization.
- Health and Wellness: The intersection of sustainability and occupant wellbeing.
