An urgent Call to Action: #StandWithGreta
A 16-year-old has succeeded where we adults have not.
On August 20, 2018, Greta Thunberg walked out of her Stockholm school and stood in front of the Swedish Parliament building with a sign that read “School Strike for Climate.” Her plea was simple: climate justice and a living planet.
Few took notice at first. But she did it again the next week.
And the next.
Today, Greta is joined by tens of thousands of teenage leaders around the world who walk out of their classrooms on Fridays to demand decisive action on the climate breakdown.
Their approach is working. In July this year, German Chancellor Angela Merkel credited Greta for driving her government to act faster on climate change. The same can and must happen here.
The world’s youth have called on us adults to join them in a Global Climate Strike on September 20, coincident with a week of events surrounding the UN Climate Action Summit in New York.
At Architects Advocate, we believe the demands of the striking youth are not only reasonable, but that they resonate with our professional interests and commitments. That’s why we launched the #StandWithGreta campaign in support of their movement. In Chicago, we’ll be meeting at 11:30am at Federal Plaza on September 20 to participate. Other cities around the country will organize to do the same.
Architects, please join us in standing up for the next generation by supporting the true leaders of our time. Learn more and sign a pledge to #StandWithGreta at architects-advocate.com.

Firm Actions:
The 2030 Commitment is a global initiative to help architecture and engineering firms track their progress toward the 2030 Challenge established in 2006 by Architecture 2030. The 2030 Challenge calls for all new buildings, developments, and major renovations to be carbon-neutral by 2030. Over 400 firms nationwide have adopted the challenge so far.
We Are Still In is a network of networks representing more than 127 million Americans and $6.2 trillion of the U.S. economy. More than 2,500 leaders from America’s city halls, state houses, boardrooms, and college campuses have signed the We Are Still In declaration, demonstrating America’s enduring commitment to tackling climate change, ensuring a clean energy future, and upholding the Paris Climate Agreement.
If your firm offers a 401(k) plan for employees, consider including fossil fuel free fund options as part of the 20 investment plans typically offered.
When people divest from fossil fuel companies, they align their investment criteria with their green values.
