Dr HENRY TSANG - THE ROYAL ARCHITECTURAL INSTITUTE OF CANADA - DESIGNING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE - AN ARCHITECTS REPSONSIBILITY

Climate change is the most pressing and complex design problem of our time. Not only is climate change deteriorating the planet as we know it, it is posing an existential threat to humanity, and architecture is complicit. The built environment accounts for nearly 40% of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions and pervasively impacts our societies and health. Through their primary role in shaping the built environment, architects possess both the capability and moral duty to enable transformational, green, sustainable, regenerative, healthy and resilient design solutions. So, as a profession, where do we go from here?
