Sustainable Energy Summits

Carrier Global Corporation recently hosted a Climate Summit titled "Reimagining the Built Environment for a Net Zero Future" during Climate Week in New York City. The summit, held in partnership with FT Live and JLL, brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and sustainability experts to discuss the critical role of collaboration and sustainable innovation in achieving net-zero goals. The building sector, which accounts for roughly 40% of global carbon emissions, has a significant role to play in leading the energy transition by embracing decarbonization, energy efficiency, and electrification.

The event featured a fireside chat between David Gitlin, Carrier's Chairman and CEO, and Martin Schroeter, Chairman and CEO of Kyndryl, focusing on the intersection of sustainability, business, and energy innovation. Discussions centered on how innovative HVAC solutions can support resiliency in the electrical grid, how AI technologies can help manage energy demand in buildings, and the financial investments needed to propel net-zero emission buildings forward. Carrier's commitment to advancing sustainable solutions aims to shape a net-zero future by making buildings smarter, more sustainable, and more efficient while strengthening grid resilience.
