Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction. Affordable Housing Institute. UIA News, World Architecture News. With this Communication made at the 16th Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Cancun, Quintana Roo Mexico, the International Union of Architects is expanding and reinforcing the UIA Sustainable by Design Strategy we released at the 15th Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark in December 2009. We are committed to making our world Sustainable by Design and to ensure that architects take a responsible attitude. Climate change is a reality, its negative effects on weather events have been felt since the end of the last century and the beginning of this 21st century and at least in the short and medium term these will not change, on the contrary, they will get more complicated.
On this occasion the architects of the world within the UIA, feel the need to again take a position within the international community to express our points of view and our commitments for action to reduce this problem. Everything that we do is about people. Sustainable Design: New Directions for Affordable Housing Symposium. Redfields to Greenfields. GreenLight Fund :: Home.
