Taking Action: A Conversation on Climate Action and Architecture in Canada was presented virtually by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) on Monday, October 5, 2020, in celebration of World Architecture Day 2020. The event was the first in a series of activities for the Congress on Architecture: Climate Action and Architecture in Canada.
The opening also detailed the purpose of the 2021 Congress event to “Ignite, Create, and Share” information related to the intersection of architecture and the environment, and the work towards a climate action plan for the RAIC. Four subject matter experts on climate action and architecture were invited to present their research and experiences related to one of the four Congress topics. The session closed with a discussion and question and answer period, moderated by international environmental journalist, Stephen Leahy.
