Join NaCCRA for a timely and practical conversation on sustainability in Life Plan and retirement communities. “Climate Crisis: Taking Action in Retirement Communities” will be live-streamed on March 18, 2026, from 2:00–3:00 PM Eastern (11:00–12:00 Pacific), with a recording available afterward .
Featured speaker Alden Meyer, a global climate policy expert with more than four decades of experience advising administrations, testifying before Congress, and participating in nearly every United Nations COP climate summit, will outline the realities of global warming, the current policy landscape, and what meaningful action looks like today .
The program also highlights real-world success stories from retirement communities across the country — including rooftop and carport solar installations, water conservation partnerships with local governments, and energy-efficiency upgrades such as replacing drafty doors and windows .
Topics will include energy efficiency (solar and geothermal), water conservation, waste management, building improvements, food and plastics reduction, and how to gain management acceptance for sustainability initiatives .
Whether you’re a resident leader, board member, or community advocate, you’ll gain facts, policy insight, and practical ideas you can bring home to your own community.
