According to RIBA, architecture is responsible for about 45% of the carbon dioxide (greenhouse gas) emissions in the UK. Can you believe it? 45% in the UK! And who knows how much in other countries?

RIBA recognises this and is taking appropriate action to stimulate the production of sustainable architecture.
