What Do Buildings Have to Do With Climate Change?

The built environment is responsible for some 40% of carbon emissions — as the world's largest architecture and design firm, Gensler believes climate change is the moral and business imperative of our time. The firm's co-CEO Andy Cohen breaks down the connection between buildings and climate change and explains how we can move the needle on this complex problem with a strategic approach to design to create a positive impact across our global communities. As the world prepares for COP27, a momentous occasion where global collaboration in effort of climate action can shine, we as members of the real estate industry have a profound duty to continue our work towards a more just and sustainable future for all.
