The AIA Los Angeles Committee on the Environment (COTE) is proud to host the 9th Annual 1.5°C Symposium on Climate Change, a timely and action-driven convening that moves the conversation from policy to practice—and from intention to impact.
In a moment defined by political uncertainty and climate urgency, this year’s symposium asks a critical question: How can individuals, firms, and communities drive real, measurable change-right now? The 2026 program explores how climate action can be scaled across projects of every size, within firms of every structure, and across sectors that too often operate in silos.
Through Southern California–based impact projects, sector-specific insights, and candid conversations, the symposium will spotlight practical, resilient, and replicable strategies—from grassroots and pro-bono initiatives to market-driven green development.
Join a growing network of collaborators working to democratize knowledge, strengthen cross-sector connections, and accelerate a just transition in the built environment. This is where ideas turn into action—and where action becomes momentum.
