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.
COP28 ended in Dubai last week, with significant implications for buildings, cities and the planet. While the eyes of the world were on the wording around fossil fuels, COP’s impacts can’t be boiled down to a few lines of text.
Better than expected, but not ideal. That’s the news on fossil fuels, and everything COP28. The real action starts now.

The planet is speaking in ALL CAPS. Are we listening?
As you read the headlines and contemplate our changing climate, here are some things to keep in mind.
A passively cooled building will work like an air conditioner and harness natural forces.
