EcoPlex-Overview

Corporate America has already taken notice of the profit potential of a sustainability-based economy. It sees the opportunities impacting businesses, employment, tax revenues, social and city services, foodstuffs, special events, and healthcare. Over 150 companies including Adobe, Burberry, Colgate Palmolive, HP, Intuit, JLL, Mars, Novartis, Salesforce, and Unilever have made massive investments in sustainability focused products and services. EcoPlex will capture this new excitement for transforming our economy, while creating plans and strategies that will help cure our planet. Located in the Fort Worth metro area, the EcoPlex will be well positioned in the geographic center of the country. As a premier destination in the DFW Metroplex, EcoPlex will enjoy all the benefits of being located in one of the most dynamic – and fastest growing – regions in North America. The entire complex will be designed and built so that it can easily connect in real time with the global sustainable community. The futuristic building designs within the EcoPlex will become a landmark for the region and a showplace for the world. But the building’s looks are not its most important feature. EcoPlex will accelerate the transformation of building techniques by bringing 2050 construction technology to bare today. The complex will use revolutionary building systems and techniques, generating and storing all of its own power requirements, recycling its own wastes, and sourcing and managing its own water supplies. By incorporating innovations into its grounds, construction, and exhibits, the EcoPlex will be a living laboratory, where visitors will be able to view commercially practical, green technology in action. Trillions of Reasons Why… • In this decade, The Paris Agreement will unlock at least $13.5 trillion of economic activity in the energy sector alone. • And Texas is leading the way as the number one producer of renewable energy in the nation. • Further, the Business & Sustainable Development Commission launched its Better Business, Better World report, which identifies conservatively $12 trillion a year (by 2030) of market opportunities linked to implementing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. • Additionally, the Brookings Institute estimates $31 Trillion in sustainability spending by just governments – not including the private sector. • If recent global economic trends continue under the business-as-usual scenario, SDG- related public spending will likely reach $67 trillion or more by 2030!
