As the world´s leaders gather in Egypt for COP 27 – United Nations Climate Change conference, Dezeen reached out to 10 architects and engineer and asked: What do you hope will be achieved at COP27?
“We should stop hoping for top-down achievements and start acting at all levels of society. Our action will empower the politicians to also start acting. So I hope that COP27 will empower specific climate action across society from politicians to organisations, companies, communities and individuals." Said EFFEKT partner Sinus Lynge.
