As part of RIBA London’s 2019 Sustainable Architecture Festival, Adrian Dobson (RIBA Executive Director Professional Services) spoke about what RIBA is doing to combat climate change.
RIBA Council acknowledged the scale of the challenge and responsibility of built environment professionals in playing their part in tackling it. For the UK to reach the government’s target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the architectural profession must take a leading role, ramping up its actions. RIBA Council endorsed a series of key decisions including the development of a five year, detailed, measurable action plan to embed sustainable industry standards and practice; use the RIBA’s influence to improve government and inter-government policy and regulation; and reduce the RIBA’s own carbon footprint.
RIBA has since launched the 2030 Climate Challenge for RIBA Chartered Practices. Find out more at https://www.architecture.com/about/policy/climate-action/2030-climate-challenge.
