Our vision + mission

The Climate Framework Initiative was founded by The Cross-Industry Action Group, which comprises a group of volunteers representing various professional institutes, member organisations + academic institutions around the world.

The Group’s mission is to cross-pollinate experiences and expertise across the industry, embracing all disciplines, and creating a common curriculum framework, as well as a platform for holistic climate knowledge.

In this united and coordinated effort, our aim is to break down silos, and establish a common ground, define a common language + identify the holistic knowledge and skills every built environment actor must equip themselves with, in order to deliver truly sustainable built environments today and in the future.

Developed in consultation with the global buildings industry + academia

An two-year, online consultation (with 750+ responses from many disciplines across the global built environment sector + academia) helped shape and refine the Climate Framework’s structure.

Consistency

The need to consistently disseminate knowledge and share experiences, as well as insights between industry and academia

Collaboration

A need for greater collaboration among all stakeholders across the sector

Comprehensiveness

The need for an integrated, inclusive and multidisciplinary approach
