The built environment is responsible for around 40% of global carbon emissions and architects have a significant role to play in reducing UK greenhouse gas emissions to net zero.
The Royal Institute of British Architects has developed the 2030 Climate Challenge to help architects design within a climate conscious trajectory and provides a stepped approach towards reaching net zero.
Watch Alex Tait, Head of Technical Practice at RIBA, give a brief introduction to the 2030 Climate Challenge.
The RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge sets out a series of targets for practices to adopt to reduce operational energy, embodied carbon and potable water. If all RIBA Chartered Practices meet these targets, they will play their part in addressing the climate emergency. The 2030 Climate Challenge is currently open to all RIBA Chartered Practices. Signatories who join the Challenge
commit to attempt to meet the targets on all their new and major refurbishment projects.
