Architects have a duty to act on climate consequences. All architecture

is environmental, and therefore it would be bizarre to ignore it. And

yet, architects around the world are arguably slow to move to the

level of action required. Climate change is a Super Wicked Problem

that is characterised by multiple interconnected causes, uncertainties,

and high stakes for future generations. It demands urgent action and

long-term thinking, as well as cooperation across different sectors and

scales. Architects can contribute to this effort by using their design

skills and knowledge to create more resilient built environments.

As potentially the most pressing and complex challenge of human

time, architects have an important role to play in responding to this

Super Wicked Problem.
