The Australian Institute of Architects recognises that climate change is the biggest crisis facing our communities, our country and indeed, our planet and that urgent action is required.

The Institute is working across multiple fronts to advocate for and achieve net zero carbon emissions in the built environment by 2030.

We’re challenging government to urgently implement broader policies to bring about whole-scale change to ensure Australia fulfills its Paris Agreement commitment.

On 9 September, we signed the NoCo2 Certification Program Agreement with the Carbon Reduction Institute, which means the Institute is now carbon neutral.

The Australian Institute of Architects is a national body representing approximately 13,000 architects across Australia. The Institute offers a wide range of high quality, member focused services supporting architects to remain at the cutting edge of their profession.

By promoting better, responsible and environmental design, the Institute actively lobbies to maintain and improve the quality of our built environment. Raising design standards in our cities, urban areas, commercial and residential buildings, architects and the Institute have a major role in shaping Australia's future.
