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 Resolution on Climate Action / seeking support from delegates

  • 1.  AIA Resolution on Climate Action / seeking support from delegates

    Posted 06-03-2019 05:11 PM

    As you may have heard, there is a resolution coming for a vote on Wednesday at the AIA Conference on Architecture in Las Vegas: AIA Resolution on Urgent and Sustained Climate Action. 

    We're into the final push of getting out the vote to pass the resolution next Wednesday, June 5th afternoon in Las Vegas. This requires 2/3s of the voting delegates to pass. 

    So we're asking anyone who 1) is attending as a delegate or 2) can support passage with those coming from your chapter as delegates for their help.

    The final resolution is attached along with a summary of the recommendations and the voting process (it's tricky!).
    If anyone from this esteemed group is going to be a delegate and is willing to make a statement in support on the floor that would be TERRIFIC. If this describes you, please contact me (kiragould@kiragould.com) and we can get you some talking points as needed. 

    Many thanks!
