[https://www.architectsdeclare.com/ Architects Declare] is a network of architectural practices committed to addressing the climate and biodiversity emergency. Originated by architects Steve Tompkins and Michael Pawlyn, and launched on 30 May 2019 by the then 17 UK recipients of the Stirling Prize, it quickly attracted hundreds of other architectural practices from across the UK.

Under the wider banner of [https://www.constructiondeclares.com/ Construction Declares], it has now spread to more than 20 different countries, with over 5,000 signatories, and has been adopted by other built environment disciplines that have signed up to variations on its original 11-point declaration.

= The declaration =

The declaration, which is signed by practices rather than individuals, varies slightly in each country and for each profession. Here in the UK, it states that signatory practices will seek to:

# Raise awareness of the climate and biodiversity emergencies and the urgent need for action amongst our clients and supply chains.
# Advocate for faster change in our industry towards regenerative design practices and a higher Governmental funding priority to support this.
# Establish climate and biodiversity mitigation principles as the key measure of our industry’s success: demonstrated through awards, prizes and listings.
# Share knowledge and research to that end on an open source basis.
# Evaluate all new projects against the aspiration to contribute positively to mitigating climate breakdown and encourage our clients to adopt this approach.
# Upgrade existing buildings for extended use as a more carbon efficient alternative to demolition and new build whenever there is a viable choice.
# Include life cycle costing, whole life carbon modelling and post occupancy evaluation as part of our basic scope of work, to reduce both embodied and operational resource use.
# Adopt more regenerative design principles in our studios, with the aim of designing architecture and urbanism that goes beyond the standard of net zero carbon in use.
# Collaborate with engineers, contractors and clients to further reduce construction waste.
# Accelerate the shift to low embodied carbon materials in all our work.
# Minimise wasteful use of resources in architecture and urban planning, both in quantum and in detail.

Architects Declare is about encouragement, with every signatory organisation expected to self-govern its progress toward achieving the commitments it has made. On the basis that no single architect is currently meeting every part of the radical commitment to change, a firm ‘no public blame and shame’ policy is in place.
