    Just a reminder, citizen architects -- #climateaction is happening at the local level (in communities of all sizes). This article about Austin is just one of the many examples.

    If you and your firm haven't connected with local leaders lately -- to talk about climate action, Zero Code, building regs, and more -- put that on your ASAP list. Local AIA chapters and COTE chapters, if you have one, are a good resource, and COTE national can be, too. The move to transform our communities to be resilient, equitable, and climate change responsive is under way. Don't delay defining your leadership role, and the role of DESIGN in this process.
