The Climate Action Playbook is a resource for building an architectural practice that embraces climate change mitigation and adaptation. Accelerate your firm's ability to deliver high-quality projects aligned with climate action.
Climate change requires climate action
Climate change affects every person, every project, and every client. Architects have an unprecedented opportunity to be part of creating a safer and more sustainable world for generations to come by designing to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to changing conditions.
The Climate Action Business Playbook offers a set of accessible recommendations and best practices for anyone wanting to meaningfully integrate climate action into their practice. Incorporating climate action into your practice requires action on two levels: Project-specific actions and practice-wide shifts in culture, norms, and processes.
