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.

    AIA Climate Action - Urgent & Sustained

    Now, the AIA board can make this real by funding it.

    Members who see the industry role in #climateaction, insist that @AIANational step up.

    We know what to do! @AIA_COTE #designforfuture
