We are living in an unprecedented, critical moment to take intentional and equitable action on the climate crisis. With less than a decade to achieve sustainable development goals, collaboration is imperative to scaling our impact. We can jump-start this impact with a focus on four areas:
- Embodied Carbon
- Operational Carbon
- Zero for All
- Financing the Future of Zero Carbon Communities
The Zero Carbon Conference will respond to this need and forge a collaboration of our community of architects, designers, engineers, contractors, and responsible manufacturers–along with ESG investors and developers who are taking active steps to accelerate the decarbonization of the built environment.
Through keynotes, plenaries, panel sessions and 1:1 networking opportunities, practitioners and funders will come together to advance these initiatives around operational + embodied carbon reduction, cost-benefit analysis, and community resources to achieve an equitable decarbonized future. The Zero Carbon Conference will deliver the technology, the materials, the know-how, and the financing models needed to pave the way for scalable decarbonized global communities.
Join Us. Together, We Can Scale a Zero Carbon Future for All.

“Despite the global conditions that moved the summit to be online, I was grateful to the ILFI for this information. I was only able to attend because of it being moved online. The caliber of the panelists and information shared was of the highest quality. When we can find innovative ways to distribute this information to a broader audience (as was realized today) we really are moving towards a more regenerative world.”
Paul H. Marshall
“It is vital in this difficult time when the 10 week future is obscure, to keep an eye on the 10 year horizon.”
Ned Reifenstein
“ILFI is on the forefront of the critical work necessary to reverse climate change and global warming. They have brought and will continue to bring together a diverse group of people to work on this problem which instills love, inspiration and hope. Thank you for all that you do!”

“One wants to attend the “meeting of the minds” to be in contact, be around and experience the energy of togetherness. However, even without the the actual contact I experienced this energy at LF20. The presentations were such that we were still inspired, we were still fed and energized to pursue this higher standard. We were encouraged, given insights and tools to better our pursuit. We were shown that not only are we not alone in our pursuit but, that many have gone before us tending the fires and testing the waters to establish a tempered, usable yet dynamic standard that will change the landscape of housing, dare I say Humanity itself … for a truly Living Future.”

“In this time of consistent unprecedented events, having ILFI offer the deep magical thinking of innovative sustainable living practices of the build environment was truly the medicine that many of us need to engage in healing our systemic chaos and oppression. ILFI has been learning and relearning, seemingly behind the scenes, changes for great change. In the vein of imagining that we always have time, those practices were not brought to the front, but rather seen as a luxury or expensive. The time is now, and in fact, is far past due. This is where we will learn how to heal our world in the many ways it needs to be done. This is pretty much all we have left. I’m so grateful for ILFI and the people who truly believe in it’s power. Thank you for the opportunity. I look forward to experiencing, learning and implementing what I’ve learned and carry.”
