Get ready to wander through California’s wild and beautiful landscapes at our 21st Annual Green Gala

 

This year, the 21st Annual Green Gala invites you to step into the heart of California’s breathtaking biomes at the stunning Taglyan Complex in Hollywood. From towering redwoods to sun-drenched deserts, rolling grasslands to vibrant coastal wetlands, we’ll celebrate the incredible landscapes that make our state so unique—and the sustainability champions working tirelessly to protect them.

As leaders in the green building world, we have a profound responsibility to safeguard these ecosystems. Every sustainable innovation we embrace—every energy-efficient design, regenerative project, and resilient community we create—helps preserve the forests, rivers, and coastlines that sustain us all. This Gala isn’t just a night of celebration; it’s a call to action, a reminder that our work today shapes the future of California’s natural beauty.

On December 11, we will come together to honor the visionaries who are transforming how we build, live, and connect with the world around us. These trailblazers are redefining sustainability, leading efforts to combat climate change, and creating healthier, more vibrant communities for future generations.

Through their groundbreaking work in green building, environmental stewardship, and community-driven solutions, they are lighting the path forward. The California Green Building Awards and Community Awards will shine a spotlight on these changemakers, celebrating their achievements and inspiring us all to push the boundaries of what’s possible.

This evening is more than just recognition—it’s an invitation to deepen our resolve, connect with like-minded leaders, and ignite a renewed passion for protecting the places that make California extraordinary.

 

More details coming soon. Stay tuned!
