COP26 Communiqué Signatory:
David Baker Architects believes that if you want to build a sustainable society, you start by solving housing. Housing demands that equity, health, and resilience occupy the core of sustainable design, because secure, safe housing is an essential cornerstone of a stable future. It is critical that we, as an industry, take responsibility for the way we build in light of real and accelerating climate challenges, and we implore you as global leaders to make meaningful commitments that support and advance these efforts. As leaders in affordable housing design—committed to providing healthful, supportive homes for systematically under-served residents—we are joining the 1.5°C COP26 Communique and urging the establishment of progressive and aggressive policies, guidelines, and goals to meet the needs of this rapidly accelerating ecological challenge.
