@FOCUSstl@mobotgarden I'm excited to be participating in this Focus St. Louis panel on a very important topic for our region, made even more real with the recent climate events this summer.
Join us on Sept. 20 at @mobotgarden to discuss the challenges and the efforts in preparing for climate change and explore strategies for building resilient communities. https://t.co/DzWyQzlcN2
Each year, one firm stands out because its passion and practice have produced notable architecture for at least 10 years.
This year, @mithun_design is honored with the Architecture Firm Award. Meet them→https://t.co/AKScrBlDVu
By weight, we’ve done more to transform the planet’s atmosphere with the production of carbon emissions than we’ve done to the planet’s surface through the engineering and production of everything that humans ever built still standing today. Think about that for a second. (1/x)
It is my pleasure to share this news. Welcome Lakisha Woods, CAE @LAnnWoods1 as the next EVP/CEO of the American Institute of Architects! @AIANational https://t.co/EklhuPzkIx
The last 8 months of effort with the @AIANational Strategic Council have included working with a team to create a scalable plan to combat climate change. This *living* document is the next step from which we can improve together. https://t.co/O8yiGpl6Hb
So cool to hear @Elefante_Carl and others at the 65% by 2030 / ZERO by 2040: Top 200 Global Firms and Organizations Lead With 1.5°C Climate Actions #GlasgowCop26#arch2030
The @SamFoxSchool's James Harrison Steedman Fellowship in Architecture, a biennial research competition, invites early-career architects from around the world to explore how architecture can help to address today’s most pressing global challenges. https://t.co/9Tsq9tIP1s
Buildings currently produce roughly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions. @ MOC, #Climate action must include investment in energy efficient #buildings. @repcori
There is a lot of important information about the future of our climate in the nearly 4,000 pages of the new IPCC 6th Assessment Report WG1.
Thankfully @CarbonBrief is here with a massive, easy to understand Q&A to explain most of the important parts: https://t.co/BwEgL4vZNl
The new IPCC 6th Assessment Report (AR6) provides an unprecedented degree of clarity about the future of our planet, and the need to reduce – and ultimately eliminate – our emissions of greenhouse gases.
In this thread I take a look at some key findings from the report: 1/27
Thank you @atwilson for this thorough analysis and guidance. #resilientdesign

While the global as a whole has warming around 1.2C since preindustrial times, land areas where we all live have on average warmed close to 2C already.
In honor of #ShowYourStripes day, here are land, ocean, and global stripes all shown relative to the same temperature range:
We are in a very different world when Biden takes office in 2021 than we were at the start of the Obama administration in 2009.
In the last decade we've succeeded in making clean energy cheap, and technology can go a long way in enabling more ambitious climate policy.
