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.

    Architects and allied professionals: We are in a practice transformation. Join us to connect and exchange ideas and best practices.

    The AIA Committee on the Environment is hosting the COTE Open Forum on June 24, from 330-5pm ET as we explore COTE's mission of climate action and climate justice through design.

    This is the event that we usually have at the Conference, which would have been in Philadelphia this year. 

    We are delighted to have a special guest, Christine Knapp, who is Director of Sustainability at the City of Philadelphia, as our kick-off speaker ... and then we'll have breakouts sessions focused on four topics -- advocacy, electrification, resilience, and the 2030 Commitment -- that are pertinent to architects and allied professionals throughout the country, whether they are presently connected to one of COTE's 55 local/state AIA COTE chapters or not. (And if not, this would be a great way to get to know some folks in those chapters!)
