Climate Positive Design brings people together to reduce and remove greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere through the exterior built and natural environment, while supporting biodiversity and healthy, equitable communities. We offer innovative thinking and create tools, guidance and resources to facilitate this collective endeavor.
According to UN Habitat, the urban built environment is responsible for 75% of the world’s global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As those leading the planning, design and implementation of built spaces, we must advocate, educate and design for climate and nature positive outcomes that reach beyond carbon neutrality.
Our Mission
