David Thibodeau speaks to Brianne Treat from Climate Pledge Arena about how they are setting a new sustainability standard for sport facilities.

Brianna Treat is the director of sustainability at Climate Pledge Arena.

Climate Pledge Arena is a transformational project. It is the most significant private investment ever made in Pacific Northwest sports and entertainment history. In partnership, Oak View Group, the Seattle Kraken, and the City of Seattle set out to reimagine and redevelop an arena constructed under an historic landmarked roof originally built for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair.

Opening on October 19, 2021, Climate Pledge Arena, located at Seattle Center, and is home to the NHL Seattle Kraken, the WNBA Seattle Storm and the world’s biggest performers of live music and events.

Climate Pledge Arena serves as a long-lasting and regular reminder for the urgent need for climate action. The Climate Pledge, which was founded by Amazon and Global Optimism in 2019, is a commitment from companies globally to be net zero carbon by 2040.
