Architects Climate Action Network NL

Architects Climate Action Network NL is a network of individuals from within architecture and the related built environment professions taking action to address the climate and ecological crises, together with climate justice. We are the Dutch chapter of ACAN.

ACAN exists to address the way our built environment is made, operated and renewed in response to the climate emergency. As a network of individuals, we channel personal energy, expertise and action towards a common goal - the systemic change of our profession and the construction industry as a whole. We see this as a matter of urgency.

We can no longer remain secluded within personal and professional silos and instead must harness our agency as citizens with shared professional backgrounds to bring about the necessary changes to our industry. As a network of individuals, ACAN is able to act at speed, without conflict of interest, and is open to methods that may be unavailable to other campaign organisations.
