Arch 2030: China Accord

Moore Ruble Yudell became one of 52 international firms to be an initial signatory in the Arch 2030: China Accord. The signing event took place in Shenyang, China and was hosted by the China Exploration and Design Association Architecture Branch (the CEDAAB) and by Architecture 2030, the leading U.S. organization responsible for issuing the 2030 Challenge energy and emission reduction targets. The common mission was to dramatically reduce carbon emissions in the built environment. The historic meeting culminated with the signing of the China Accord – a commitment to plan and design all cities, towns, developments and buildings to low carbon/carbon neutral standards. Arch 2030 is founded by Edward Mazria, FAIA, Hon. FRAIC, an internationally recognized architect, author, researcher, and educator.
