Tell FEMA: Climate Change is Real

Dear Colleagues:

This is a request from AIA COTE Advocacy to sign another petition on behalf of your firm. I know it's incomprehensible that we have to do this, but we at AIA COTE Advocacy think the US Federal Emergency Management Agency's removal of the term "climate change" from all their strategic planning documents is evidence of an unacceptable level of politicization in government agencies that should be our partners in resilient planning and design for adaptation. We also want the AIA Government Relations staff to see the strength of our network by - again - collecting hundreds of signatures in two weeks. Can you help? A link is below. Thank you!! - Mike

Hello everyone I wanted to let you know about a really exciting initiative - the Carbon Smart Building Initiative being organized by the Carbon Leadership Forum (CLF). It’s focused on the steps it will take to get to a carbon neutral built environment by 2050

  Mike Davis chaired a COTE Advocacy call this afternoon. AIA staff told us we've accumulated over 640 signatures. Keep 'em coming!! Julie  

Wed, 05/02/2018 - 14:03

Thanks for that promo bump, Julie! 640 firms in a week is great - but we can do better. We're closing the letter on Friday, May 11 so AIA Government Relations can deliver it to FEMA before the Memorial Day break. It would be great to get 1,000 firms to sign. Feel free to send this link to other people who would want to help. Thank you! https://p2a.co/LID3pny
