Climate Positive Design Introduce New Resources for Decarbonizing the Built Environment
After a two-year collaboration between Architecture 2030 and Climate Positive Design, we are pleased to announce the publication of a series of new and updated resources to support policymakers, planners, and designers in full built environment decarbonization.
Buildings, landscapes, and infrastructure are responsible for 42% of annual global CO2 emissions. In order to meet the demands of a growing population, we anticipate doubling our existing building stock by 2060. The need for upgrades and new infrastructure to support this floor area growth will be staggering.
According to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, “Three-quarters of the infrastructure that will exist in 2050 has yet to be built.”
Check out the following newly launched resources designed to empower the built environment community to meet these demands while striving for decarbonization:

Architecture 2030 has also updated its research on the
built environment's impact on global emissions and expanded its
Actions for the Built Environment resources. The latest Climate Positive Design Challenge impacts are detailed in the
2023 Beyond Neutral Report.
In addition, Architecture 2030 and Climate Positive Design contributed to the following reports, roadmaps, and articles:

These resources are designed to assist those involved in shaping the exterior built environment—from policymakers and planners to architects, landscape architects, civil engineers, and contractors—in creating a more sustainable future.
