Washington, D.C. -- On the heels of announcing a landmark initiative to drive climate action, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) is outlining an initial path forward for the organization and profession this morning in a new declaration, Where We Stand: Climate Action.
“Climate change requires a holistic approach, addressing the interdependencies among people, buildings, infrastructure, and the environment,” said William Bates, FAIA, AIA 2019 president. “Our training allows us to look for solutions and ways to mitigate climate change comprehensively and creatively, which we do every day.”
