EOS is a low-power filtration system that captures toxic airborne particulates such as micro-plastics and various greenhouse gas emissions from transportation and local industry sources.

Designed to be a robust, low maintenance, street-level solution for urban areas, EOS includes lighting and operates on self-generating wind and solar energy.

Aquabloom is a foldable rain and fog collector designed for easy transport and assembly, offering sustainable water harvesting, storage, and communal spaces for off-grid communities in remote areas.

Aquabloom can be set up during the wet season to capture excess rainwater and store it for the dry season, providing a climate-adaptive solution when naturtal water resources are unavailable.

Pangolins proposes a novel approach to to prevent deforestation and preserve forests as natural, vital carbon storage sinks.

Pangolins, primarily found in Southeast Asia and Africa are illegally poached and trafficked for their keratin. However, their diet of termites aids in regulating the forest against insect infestations and destruction, contributing to a balanced ecosystem.

Protecting pangolins reduces the termite population, allowing forests to thrive.

Located in Iceland, Mammoth is Climeworks’ second commercial Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant and it is about ten times bigger than its predecessor plant, Orca.

Mammoth represents a demonstrable step in Climeworks’ scale-up roadmap, moving carbon removal capacity from thousands to tens of thousands of tons per year — an important milestone on the way to megaton capacity by 2030 and gigaton by 2050.

Made entirely from lab-grown mycelium, GOB’s earplugs are USDA Certified 100% Bio-based and home-compostable — ready to return to nature by breaking down into nutrients that feed the soil.

Designed to mold to your ear like memory foam and engineered for noise reduction, GOB’s mycelium-based earplugs offer unparalleled comfort and sound protection while prioritizing the planet and your health.

This Melbourne-based team uses design for marine restoration, providing products made with 3D printing and casting technologies and services to help their clients investigate new ways to repair and maintain ecological diversity in marine & coastal environments.

This vital work mostly occurs in collaboration with marine researchers across a spectrum of restoration projects, from coastal blue carbon practices to coral farming and more.  

The headquarters for Tscherning, a family-owned deconstruction company, demonstrates that materials from demolition sites are valuable resources for adaptive reuse.

Using exclusively reclaimed elements, such as brickwork from an old prison and stairs from a public school, the project pushes the boundaries of sustainable design by solely relying on reused materials, which reduces the new headquarters’ carbon footprint.

This adaptive reuse project repurposes the industrial ruins of a 16-acre rail depot and introduces a new, modern, multidisciplinary art center and public park south of Arles.

Passive and active design measures and renewable energy sources reduce consumption by 60%. Further carbon reductions are achieved through climate-minded selections of materials and construction methods that visibly distinguish this exemplary project.

This multi-award-winning project reclaims and renews a degraded brownfield to create a thriving urban park full of biodiversity.

Shaped with a combination of post-war Warsaw building rubble and bioreceptive concrete — the park has become a climate-resilient environment for native plant life and animal habitats, water run-off manage-ment, and tree cover offering protection from the increasing urban heat island effect.

Kirkkojärvi Park creates a flood-resilient plane for its dynamic landscape. Built around the Espoonjoki River, the area floods due to the spring’s meltwater, autumn’s heavy rainfall, and because of climate change that makes winter flooding more common now.

The terrain is thoughtfully designed to serve the community’s needs and adapt to the area’s native lake returning to the local landscape when the river floods seasonally.

Carl Nielsens Allé, once a busy parking lot has been transformed into a lush urban oasis that unites nature, city life, and climate adaptation in one of Copenhagen’s cozy bridge districts.

The oasis catchment basin turns rainwater into a valuable resource during cloudbursts, and diverse plantings function as food and habitat for insects that contribute to increasing the area’s biodiversity.

Twelve turns CO₂ into essential products.

CO₂Made® materials encompass a broad range of polymers that are chemically identical to conventional fossil-based products and possess the same characteristics. Such polymers are essential materials for making products like polyurethane foam, used in the built environment today.

Now, carbon transformation is producing climate-positive solutions made from air, not oil.

The Plus is set to become the first project of its kind in the world to achieve the highest environmental BREEAM rating.

All materials are carefully chosen by their environmental impact, with the facade constructed from local timber, low-carbon concrete and recycled reinforcement steel.

Through this project, Vestre aims to prove that industrial projects can also be global innovators in the environmental field.

The Anandaloy Building hosts a center for people with disabilities and a small studio for producing (Dipdii) fair textiles in Bangladesh.

The structure is built with local, low-carbon materials and techniques — a fired brick foundation, mud walls (cob technique), bamboo pillars, ceilings, and roof structure, straw lower roof and sheet metal upper roof.

Read more about this remarkable building’s distinct purpose and how it breaks the mold.

According to the Obel Award jury, this 2023 award-winning visionary project tackles the full task of adaptation and has the capacity to inspire and positively impact vulnerable shorelines worldwide.

This benchmark for adaptation in the built environment operates on several scales — increasing physical, ecological, and social resilience, and activating both human and non-human life in the design process.

This proposal reimagines a unique stretch of Lyon’s riverbank by transforming the site from an urban barrier to a natural attraction.

Climate-adaptive features include reduced asphalt, bike lanes shaded by trees, restored natural habitats, and green infrastructure.

The proposal envisions a more resilient urban environment adapted to withstand the challenges posed by regional flooding and cloudbursts along the River Rhone.

Few consumer products, if any, have reached perfection in covering all the factors of carbon neutrality. The MO.ONSHOT sneaker, however, demonstrates clear progress.

The product is composed of regenerative 100% wool, carbon-negative, sugarcane-derived foam, and carbon-negative bioplastic.

MO.ONSHOT offers an open-source toolkit to foster collaboration and far more progress.

The Ellinikon Park transforms obsolete infrastructure into a restorative landscape that will become Europe’s largest coastal park.

Carbon Conscience and Pathfinder tools were used to guide design decisions based on increasing sequestered and stored carbon and reducing embodied carbon. Over 3 mil. new plants were selected for their ecosystem services, adaptability to the site’s distinctive soil profile, and to increase biodiversity.

This entrepreneurship hub in Kigali, Rwanda, is a model for adaptive reuse and circular design practices. The project will be EDGE Advanced certified, achieving 40 percent or more energy savings.

Through rigorous conservation measures, the design has also reduced embodied carbon by 32 percent compared to the global average for similar office buildings.

Founders Hall is the first fully mass timber building on campus and embraces the University of Washington Green Building Standards; reducing carbon emissions by over 90%.

The building incorporates a mass timber structure with cross-laminated timber decking, reflecting the university’s connection to the Pacific Northwest and the local wood products industry.
