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.

    This is fascinating and comes to us via Katharine Hayhoe, who is leading the charge on climate awareness. 

    These maps, created by a team at Yale, show how Americans' climate change beliefs, risk perceptions, and policy support vary at the state, congressional district, metro area, and county levels.

    h/t to Susan Rainier who learned about this resource at Hayhoe's lecture last night at UC Davis
