Redefining VALUE: Building Resilience to Collectively Thrive
From the Climate Crisis to climate in our lives, there are impacts everywhere and impacts coming. We’re learning our role as the built environment community in the arc of progress, and we know what we can do collectively. In Redefining VALUE, we can determine the value of design and its relationship to climate, examine who is at the table, and work toward collective action.

We’re winning slowly. How do we win faster?
Global poverty is shrinking, life expectancy is rising, more people have access to education and
health care than ever before, and carbon emissions in many countries are falling. We're winning. But climate change and species loss is accelerating. We have to bring about the transformation to a sustainable world faster--and architects are in a surprisingly powerful place, able to nudge the aim of the giant fire hose of money spent each year on the built environment in ways that
make the world more healthy and more just, while drastically lowering Carbon emissions. Let's go!
