The 2°C Symposium is an opportunity to learn essential technologies, strategies and tools that address climate change at a critical time for our collective future. Its name refers to the Paris Climate Agreement that identified holding the increase in global average temperature to below 2 °Celsius above pre-industrial levels in hopes of preventing irreversible and damaging climatic patterns.
Organized by COTE AIA|LA, 2 °C is a unifying platform for the public, the architectural design community and the building industry to discuss and address the sustainability issues challenging our society today. 2°C will embrace current innovations in the industry and advance the dialogue occurring within these communities.
Climate Change is a reality; it is imperative that we educate, develop innovative strategies, and implement changes to mitigate its advance.
