10 Principles to build on - Researching for Sustainability through Architecture
The Copenhagen Lessons are 10 guiding principles for transforming architecture and construction to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The principles promote social inclusion, reuse of existing buildings and materials, protection of nature, reduction of CO₂ emissions, and sustainable development of the built environment.
The Copenhagen Lessons are 10 guiding principles for transforming architecture and construction to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The principles promote social inclusion, reuse of existing buildings and materials, protection of nature, reduction of CO₂ emissions, and sustainable development of the built environment.
The Copenhagen Lessons were presented at the UIA World Congress of Architects 2023 in Copenhagen as a framework for accelerating the transition towards a more sustainable built environment.
The initiative responds to the significant environmental impact of the construction sector, which is responsible for a large share of global emissions, resource consumption, and waste.
The 10 principles provide a common language and direction for architects, developers, investors, and policymakers, encouraging building practices that prioritize people, climate, biodiversity, and clean water while supporting long-term sustainable development.
