About Climate Framework
The Climate Framework presents a shared curriculum for education and upskilling around climate change.

Developed by The Cross-industry Action Group, the “Climate Framework” Initiative unites the built environment sector and academia to collectively build capacity, and upskill for climate action. Its shared curriculum framework draws on deep industry knowledge, leverages the best academic research, cross-pollinates experiences and expertise across the global construction industry and academia.
Underpinned by the vision and the mission of the UN 2030 Agenda, the Framework contextualizes the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 for the built environment, under six overarching topics of Human Factors, Circular Economy, Energy + Carbon, Water, Ecology + Biodiversity and Connectivity + Transport.
