Unequaled in AIA’s 162 year history, The Big Move for Environmental Sustainability represents a “dramatic and unprecedented change in focus.”  In conjunction with what the AIA has informally nicknamed the Big Move Toward Environmental Stewardship, the resolution marks a bold step forward in position the architectural profession as key leaders for climate action. It outlines three key areas: declare an urgent climate imperative for carbon reduction; transform the day-to-day built practice of architects to achieve a zero-carbon, equitable, resilient and healthy build environment; and leverage support of peers, clients, policy makers, and the public at large.

While Sustainability is a complex subject, even for those whose expertise brings them neck deep in it, AIANC has prepared a program which provides the context and describes the transformation that is necessary for architects to take a leadership role in addressing the Climate Imperative. The Climate Action Plan reiterates our commitment to designing a sustainable, healthy and equitable world.
