3 Sessions on Green and Resilient Hotels
The hotel sector is a growing industry that needs to limit its carbon emissions: 66% reductions of emissions per room are needed by 2030 and 90% per room are needed by 2050 to comply with global climate change goals. At the same time, hotels are feeling the impacts of climate change through increased storms, water scarcity, and sea level rise. To address these challenges, the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) are launching a webinar series around the theme of “unlocking investments for green and resilient hotels.”
The webinar series, comprised of 3 sessions described below, includes solutions for different actors in the industry value chain, specifying the learning outcomes and audience for each topic.

EDGE is a green building standard and a certification system that empowers building professionals to quickly and easily determine the most cost-effective ways to build green. During the live demo of the EDGE platform, you will see how the built-in financial calculator makes connections between technical measures and profitability. Case studies of hotels who have successfully utilized EDGE with very little incremental cost will illuminate the business drivers for green action.
