55 Years of Earth Day: Where Do We Stand?
On Friday April 18th, 2025, we are excited to host the 8th annual 1.5°C Symposium on Climate Change in Los Angeles, CA. This year’s Symposium, organized by the AIA Los Angeles’s Committee on the Environment, celebrates the 55th anniversary of Earth Day. This important milestone presents a unique opportunity for reflection, allowing us to evaluate the tangible outcomes that have emerged from the environmental movement, while simultaneously envisioning the future trajectory for our planet as we continue to develop creative solutions in the fight against climate change.
The Lunch Think Sessions at AIA LA’s 1.5°C Symposium provide an intimate setting for open-ended discussions led by experts in sustainability, resilience, and design innovation. Each table offers 10-12 attendees the opportunity to engage with a thought leader, diving into critical topics without rigid agendas—allowing conversations to flow organically and spark new ideas.
This year’s sessions will emphasize resilient design strategies, climate adaptation, and the role of architects in creating solutions that not only mitigate climate impacts but also protect vulnerable communities. Join us for an inspiring exchange of ideas and actionable insights.
