About

Join us in person in Brisbane for the Climate Forum watch party on 6th September 2024.

2024 represents a new world where global temperatures have breached the 1.5°C warming limit. This is attributed to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions of which 30-40% of it can be attributed to the building and construction industry.

As practitioners in the built environment, we are complicit in this.

The Climate Forum (CF) is a response to this complicity: to make space for dialogue on how we, in Australia and across the Asia Pacific, can tackle, adapt and build resiliency in a world of changing climate. CF recognises that communities need place-based design solutions and to provide these, architects need to think global and act local. To do this, we are bringing together built-environment practitioners and community members to share and connect on initiatives, success stories, and knowledge.

The Climate Action in Australian Architectural Practice report is the starting point and the CF program builds on its six findings: Build Agency, Overcome Inertia, Advocate, Build Knowledge, Connect and Choose Hope.

Hosted in Brisbane (QLD, Australia), this is an online event designed by emerging researchers, architects and practitioners. It is supported by Arch Climate Futures, Australian Architects Declare, Parlour and ACAN Australia.
