The new RIBA president discusses his advocacy role at COP26, and the chair of the institute’s Sustainable Futures Group explains revisions to the 2030 Climate Challenge targets.

As COP26 in Glasgow approaches in early November, AJ Climate Champions puts the spotlight on the RIBA’s recently released Built for the Environment report, a global call for governments to harness the built environment’s role in tackling climate change. Allford shares his ambitions for a House of Architecture at 66 Portland Place and insights on how his almost 500-strong practice, AHMM, delivers sustainable design.

Hattie Hartman also speaks with Gary Clark about the current workstreams of the RIBA's Sustainable Futures Group.
