So what tangible steps can our industry take to combat climate change and how can we measure our impact against such a huge issue?<\/p>\n<p>Our industry as well as urban designers, architects, engineers and planners have a huge opportunity and responsibility to help create a better future. A new resource\/platform called Climate Positive Design lets designers register projects on a world map to accurately measure and track greenhouse emissions as well as carbon &#8220;sinks&#8221; to target when the landscape can become not just carbon neutral but climate positive!! (Meaning they capture\/sequester more greenhouse emissions than they incorporate or produce! ) And each project has a dedicated page that can be re-visited overtime and re-evaluated or shared.<\/p>\n<p>We can&#8217;t wait to start tracking our projects and see the results. If you&#8217;re in the industry &#8211; take a look at the app and let us know what you think!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3282 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/symstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/climatepositive5-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"718\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"RYAxDYCjEj\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/climatepositivedesign.com\/pathfinder\/\">Pathfinder<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Pathfinder&#8221; &#8212; Climate Positive Design\" src=\"https:\/\/climatepositivedesign.com\/pathfinder\/embed\/#?secret=vy6EMjjVwm#?secret=RYAxDYCjEj\" data-secret=\"RYAxDYCjEj\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A C C O U N T A B I L I T Y&#8230;.
