Three new declarations have launched, bringing the number of countries involved with Architects Declare to 23. Finland, the US and the Czech Republic are now part of Construction Declares and will be a part of our ongoing strategy of how best to take action in relation to the Climate and Biodiversity Crisis.

We have been shortlisted in two categories at the AJ100 Awards this year. Steve Tompkins and Michael Pawlyn are joint contenders for the Sustainability Champion of the Year for the establishment of Architects Declare, which is also nominated for Sustainability Initiative of the Year. Also on the shortlist for Champion is Clara Bagenal-George, another AD steering group member, for her achievements with LETI. The ceremony will be held in September.

There are now over 5000 signatory practices across 6 built environment disciplines in 22 countries. Thank you to all who have signed up, seeking to follow the 11 declaration points.

As the first year anniversary of Architects Declare approaches, we are conducting a survey of all our signatories, asking how practices have responded to the climate emergency. We would also like to know what practices have planned for the future, and what they expect from Architects Declare. To take part in this survey, please click here.

We had our first International meeting this morning with 35 people, from 15 countries, across 19 time zones sharing inspiration about how they are approaching the Architects Declare declaration points.
