Member Webinar: Climate + Biodiversity Positive Site Design with Pathfinder 3

Date: Wednesday, October 22, 2025

Time: 12 pm PT / 3pm ET

Our world is grappling with complex challenges, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and socioeconomic inequality. Those that plan, design, and engineer our communities and ecosystems have a pivotal role in shaping solutions that promote future resilience.  

In this month’s webinar, Pamela Conrad, internationally recognized landscape architect and founder of Climate Positive Design, will share insights into addressing these crises through tangible approaches. She will introduce Pathfinder 3.0–a free online tool for measuring the performance of infrastructure and sites, including embodied carbon. Matt Jones, civil engineer and Senior Principal at Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA), will highlight design approaches that can support projects pursuing certification under Living Future’s programs as well as other advanced sustainability rating systems.

Join us and discover tools and guidance for integrating ecological, social, and economic benefits into projects while contributing to global efforts to combat climate and biodiversity challenges.
