Climate Change, Biophilic Design and the Future of Sustainable Architecture
How can biophilic design help tackle climate change? It's one of the defining questions facing architects, interior designers, landscape architects, planners, developers and policymakers today. As climate change accelerates, the built environment has a critical role to play in reducing carbon emissions, restoring biodiversity and creating healthier places for people to live, work, learn and heal.
Climate change is no longer a future concern—it is our present reality. Record-breaking temperatures, extreme weather events, biodiversity loss, poor air quality and increasing pressures on human health are being experienced across every region of the world. The way we design our buildings, cities and landscapes has never mattered more.
At the Journal of Biophilic Design, we believe that biophilic design is far more than an aesthetic appreciation of nature. It is a practical, evidence-based approach to creating sustainable architecture, healthy buildings, climate-resilient citiesand regenerative design solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
The science is clear. We already know enough to act.
Throughout this Climate Change edition, we explore how nature-based solutions, green infrastructure, urban greening, biophilic architecture, interior landscaping, circular design and biobased materials can help address some of the greatest environmental challenges of our time. We examine the latest research, innovative case studies and pioneering projects that demonstrate how the built environment can become a powerful force for climate adaptation and mitigation.
This issue explores topics including:
Climate change and the future of the built environment
Biophilic design principles for architecture and interiors
Circular economy strategies in design and construction
Biobased and low-carbon building materials
Biodiversity and regenerative landscape design
Urban greening and climate resilience
Healthy workplaces, schools and healthcare environments
Sustainable architecture and innovative design practice
Nature-positive development and resilient cities
Research shaping the future of biophilic design
Alongside expert interviews, thought leadership and practical case studies, we celebrate those leading the profession, including the BIID Anna Whitehead Shortlist, while highlighting innovations showcased during Milan Design Week 2026 that point towards a more regenerative future.
Every decision made within the built environment carries consequences. Every specification, every material choice, every planting strategy, every retrofit, every window orientation, every public realm improvement and every masterplan either contributes towards a healthier, lower-carbon future—or moves us further away from it. Collectively, these decisions shape the resilience of our communities and our planet.
This is why biophilic design matters.
At its heart, biophilic design is a way of thinking. It encourages designers to work with natural systems rather than against them. It reminds us that human health, biodiversity, climate resilience and environmental sustainability are not separate ambitions but deeply interconnected outcomes.
The solutions already exist.
Thoughtful urban greening can reduce the urban heat island effect while improving biodiversity and air quality. Trees and planting provide shade, sequester carbon and create healthier streets. Natural ventilation strategies can reduce reliance on mechanical cooling and lower operational carbon. Water-sensitive urban design can help manage flooding while restoring ecological systems. Biobased materials, circular construction, adaptive reuse and regenerative design approaches can significantly reduce embodied carbon while creating healthier interior environments.
Whether designing hospitals, schools, offices, homes, public spaces or entire cities, every project presents an opportunity to improve environmental performance while enhancing human wellbeing.
This edition demonstrates that climate-responsive design is not an aspiration for the future—it is already happening. Across architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, materials innovation, research and policy, practitioners are proving that nature-based solutions can deliver measurable environmental, social and economic benefits.
Imagine every school fostering children's connection with nature. Imagine every workplace prioritising wellbeing alongside productivity. Imagine hospitals where healing landscapes are considered essential infrastructure. Imagine cities where biodiversity, water, trees and ecosystems are planned as fundamental components of urban resilience rather than optional extras.
That future is entirely achievable.
The future of sustainable design will be determined by the choices we make today. Our responsibility now is to scale the solutions we already have, continue building the evidence base, share best practice and embed biophilic principles into every stage of planning, design and construction.
This edition is both a celebration of progress and a call to action.
Whatever we design, specify, build, commission or influence next, let's ensure it works with nature.
Because the climate cannot wait.
Neither should we.

Whatever we design, specify, build, commission or influence next, let's ensure it works with nature.
Because the climate cannot wait.
Neither should we.
“Look up, through the leaves of the trees…
Feel the warmth of the sun on your face….
Take a walk on the beach and feel the sand between your toes….
Hear the effervescent waves cascade softly over rock pools…”
From time immemorial we have been connected to the earth, to the land, to the wind, the rain, the sun, nourishing ourselves from the abundance of fruits and seeds around us, listening to the leaves rustle, watching the birds fly in formation above our heads as they head for different climes, feel the ice cold water in the rivers, or enjoy the grass beneath our feet as we sit and talk around a fire.
As a species, the human race NEEDS a connection to nature.
The most obvious way is by getting outside and communing directly with nature, a regular dose of nature does wonders for mental and physical health, general wellbeing and so many other aspects of our lives.
But we spend most of our lives inside, at home, in an office (when we can get there!), in a shop, warehouse, school, hospital, hotel, and so on surrounded by white walls, plastics, TV noise, fluorescent lighting... Many of us operate in cities or towns, there’s concrete, asphalt, cars, cacophonies, hardly any parks or trees, birds are minimal and life is, well, running on empty.
The distance from where our inherent biological connection to the world and ourselves is currently, is a thousand miles away from where it needs to be in many instances.
So this is where Biophilic Design comes in. Biophilia is the “love of life, living things”, plants, animals, insects, us, air, flowers, sounds, and textures…. In interior design this is often represented directly, for instance by bringing plants in, encouraging natural light and fresh air or by its virtual representation or mimicking of nature, such as printed views, using colours from nature, soundscaping or improving acoustics. In urban planning, this is about incorporating trees, parks, wildlife corridors, biodiversity, encouraging engagement with nature and communities through pathways and so on.
We broadcast on Biophilic Design through our podcast series, we are media partners to some amazing events which support the Biophilic Design movement, and we publish the ebook and printed Journal as well.
Did you know we also offer a networked consultancy service, advising on the benefits of Biophilic Design from an academic viewpoint, and broker experts from architects to environmental psychologists, designers to landscapers to support your projects, whether that’s commercial, home, hospital, wider healthcare or education design.
Our founder, is Dr Vanessa Champion, herself a professional photographer and film maker who started life as an academic in London. She is the force behind what we do: “An interdisciplinary approach to Biophilic Design celebrates all the aspects of our rich natural world, we look at interior design, environmental psychology, acoustics, urban planning, the benefits of engaging with animals and other living species, how virtual nature views help, why using natural materials (wood, linen, cotton, etc) is beneficial, forest bathing or shinrin yoku, how you use certain scents to improve your mood, and loads more.”
We are an independent press, if you like what we do and would like to support us in some way, we recently signed up to Buy Me a Coffee, which may give you an opportunity to keep up topped up with caffeine each month (and cat food for Miss Emily)!

MEDIA PARTNER FOR EVENTS THAT ARE MAKING OUR PLANET A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE, WORK AND FLOURISH
Proud to support industry conversation as MEDIA PARTNER
The JBD is super proud to be media partners for some of the Industry’s more inspiring events. We actively support events which are honestly trying to make a difference to the wellbeing of people and planet, whose founders and teams also advocate that we need a more green environment inside and out, and for whom sustainability is an essential achievable goal rather than a nice to have. We attend all of these shows, not just because we think it’s nice to get out of the office (which it is) but because we believe from the bottom of our boots that being in the same room all together we can make a difference, and the different showcases each have a different angle, and you can learn so much from each. Let us know if you’re going and maybe we can meet up too. Either way, get your tickets, and find your inspiration.
We are excited about partnering with the Biophilic Institute in America. Their mission, just like ours, is to ignite biophilic concepts into dynamic actions, cultivate a strong network of passionate professionals and thought leaders dedicated to fostering a biophilic movement, and equip individuals with the tools and knowledge to champion the cause of the natural world

Biophilic design connects urban environments with nature, improving mental health, reducing stress, and enhancing well-being. It boosts air quality, supports biodiversity, and mitigates urban heat. By integrating natural elements into cities—like green roofs, parks, and water features—we create healthier, more sustainable spaces that foster community, creativity, and resilience in the face of climate challenges.
Biophilic design ALSO boosts property values, attracts tourism, and supports local businesses by creating appealing, healthy environments. It reduces healthcare costs and increases productivity, drawing investment and talent. Green, vibrant cities become economic hubs, driving long-term financial growth and resilience.
In the third in our series of online networking events, we look at how the challenges and also the amazing opportunities we have to bring Biophilic Design into our built environment.
We will also have two guest speakers with us, Philippa Hoy of BioRegional who will be explaining the rationale behind their "One Planet Framework" and we will have the opportunity to discuss how biophilic design is woven into this.
Plus Steve Hart will be joining us all the way from NZ and presenting on ecology architecture and city planning.The fusion of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, Hydrology and Biophillia through Systems Ecology overlaid with Permaculture.
You will have the chance to ask questions, share examples you know of, discuss challenges, network and maybe also kickstart some business within the Biophilic Design Network.
Same again, it's free or pay what you can. Thank you for your support, really means the world, and thank you for all you are doing to make the world a better place.
