The Committee on the Environment (COTE) is dedicated to advancing design excellence that responds thoughtfully to the complex relationship between the built and natural environments. Through advocacy, education, and research, COTE works to expand the knowledge base of environmentally responsible design and to embed these principles into everyday architectural practice.

Additionally, the committee fosters dialogue among architects, designers, engineers, and allied professionals, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration to address pressing environmental challenges such as climate change, ecosystem degradation, and social equity. By highlighting exemplary projects and innovative approaches, COTE strives to empower practitioners to create buildings and communities that are not only functional and beautiful, but also responsible contributors to a healthy, sustainable, and resilient future.
