AmericaSpeaks is working with Architecture 2030 to create a global interactive teach-in addressing climate change and the role of the architecture, planning and design communities in addressing it. The teach-in will be webcast live from the New York Academy of Sciences from Noon to 3:30pm EST on February 20th, 2007. Visit the 2010 Imperative Teach-In website for downloadable materials and event registration.

Participants viewing the webcast will be able to submit questions online, which AmericaSpeaks will theme in NYC. Architecture 2030’s goal is to reach more than 500,000 students, faculty, deans and practicing professionals in both North and South America through this event. All design schools, professional design firms and governmental entities (planning departments, city officials, etc.) are being asked to substitute the Teach-in for classes/work. Many organizations are helping with outreach by alerting their membership with news bulletins, email blasts, etc. To assist with this effort, contact Evan Thomas Paul at epaul@Americaspeaks.org.
