Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Architects play a critical role in designing buildings and communities that use resources wisely, preserve essential ecosystems, promote equity and access, and adapt to changing conditions. The warming climate has caused widespread damage to people, ecosystems, and the built environment. We recognize that the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events is the result of natural and human systems pushed beyond their ability to adapt. These climate trends are only a few of the risks facing civilization, along with unsustainable consumption of resources, land and ecosystem degradation, rapid urbanization, and social and economic inequalities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Architecture contributes nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions\u2014a percentage that has not changed significantly since the middle of the 20th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The profession finds creative solutions that ensure design excellence and climate action as we make progress toward a zero-carbon, equitable, resilient, and healthy future. Every project is a new opportunity to make incremental improvements, test new strategies, and apply lessons from past projects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The four outcomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The architect\u2019s call to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public extends to the challenges of mitigating increasing climate extremes and social inequity. Architects everywhere must recognize that our profession\u2014and every project\u2014can harness the power of design to contribute to positive, creative solutions that address the most significant needs of our time. AIA adopted the four outcomes in 2019 as part of the Climate Action Plan. They include:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
