Our theme of ‘Design to Thrive – Foundations for a Better Future’ recognises the enormity of the local and global challenges we face in building and refurbishing our buildings, cities and societies to both to minimise climate emissions and to adapt effectively to climate change impacts in each of our own rapidly evolving economies, societies and physical infrastructures.
