Who we are

The Committee on the Environment (COTE®) is an AIA Knowledge Community working for architects, allied professionals, and the public to achieve climate action and climate justice through design. We believe that design excellence is the foundation of a healthy, sustainable, and equitable future. Our work promotes design strategies that empower all AIA members to realize the best social and environmental outcomes with the clients and the communities they serve.

    More than 680 built environment experts from 51 countries have called upon the World Health Organization to advance the universal belief that our buildings play a crucial role in the fight against #COVID19.

    Our buildings are a critical part of our defense to today's public health crisis. Science-based solutions will help save the lives of many. 

    Thank you to those that signed in this grassroots effort over the last few weeks.
