    "Professional architecture and engineering organizations need to modify policies that don't currently reflect the realities of climate change. They can accomplish this by changing their sample contract documents, rating systems, and design standards to propel the field forward. Leadership from the professions can help convert recent research on climate change and the building sector into badly needed action."
