Andrew is at COP31 this week in Antalya.

Here are his thoughts post event:

A few days at COP31 in Antalya - encouraging + energising!

COP is extraordinary - the sheer variety of people, from every corner, coming together for the greatest challenge of our time. So many conversations over coffee, trading ideas and sharing perspective - as much as the sessions and meetings and the long patient periods waiting in line for this and that.

And great to have the opportunity to contribute to Building with Forests, making the case for timber and responsibly managed forests as the future of construction.

Many thanks to Architecture 2030 and Built by Nature for their support.

Of course, talking/listening isn’t enough. We need to turn ideas into policy, investment and actual buildings. But it’s so special to see so much knowledge, commitment and determination in one place. I'll take the optimism home!
