17 goals 17 architects

Delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals is crucial to the future of the planet, and crucial to the dignity and wellbeing of its people. Architecture interacts with all of the 17 Goals, and the built environment must contribute to bold new practices if we are to reach a sustainable future. While the building industry is part of current problems, architecture also holds the potential to contribute significantly to solutions.

In this session, 17 architects share built projects that each contribute to humane and environmental sustainability. The projects point to potential ways forward, and open for a discussion of how those learnings can then be scaled up and pushed further.
