BNIM supports the delegation of architects at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland, from Oct. 31 – Nov. 12. BNIM is committed to reducing the embodied CO2 emissions on all projects by 65% by 2030, 100% by 2040, 20% net positive by 2050. Together, let’s take climate action and challenge our global community and governments to ensure that global warming does not exceed the 1.5°C Paris Agreement target. Learn more about our commitment here.

“Climate change is one more inequity. BNIM has been on a journey of sustainability and high performance for over three decades and believe our primary responsibility for reducing carbon and fighting climate change is to serve the populations that are most vulnerable and deeply impacted by rising temperatures, forest fires, flooding, drought, food shortages, water scarcity, threatened air and water quality, and other ecosystem attacks. Signing the Communiqué is an action step towards serving the underserved and saving our planet.”
