The Amazon rainforest fires. Extinction Rebellion. Greta. Donald. Storms. Droughts. Mass starvation. You know the problem. Come help us be part of the solution.<a href="https://nz.architectsdeclare.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Architects Declare</a> has swept the architectural world in the year that climate change has become the climate emergency. But it’s only a small step in the right direction. To confront the climate emergency we must remake our profession, changing how we build, who we build for, and even why we build in the first place. We hope this event is the start of a continuing conversation that helps define a carbon-free practice for our future, and can strengthen existing climate action plans and influence new ones, including both Architects Declare and the future NZIA Te Kāhui Whaihanga Climate Change Action Plan.Please join us for a panel discussion, coffee and pastries, at our final EMERGE event of 2019.It’s an EMERGEncy.Lined up for the panel...Kate Boylan is a sustainability engineer at Tonkin + Taylor and the New Zealand Green Building Council’s Future Thinker of the Year 2019.
