    (Faculty of Environmental Design and Management Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, 2015) Olaniyan, S.A.; Ayinla, A. K.; Okeyinka, Y. R.
    Submissions of the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Assessment Report Four and Five (draft), paint an unpleasant picture of the negative impacts of anthropogenic induced climate change phenomenon, with a compelling need to halt the progressive trend of carbon emissions, for protection and preservation of the biodiversity. A global response informed interventions from diverse sectors of human endeavours with a particular reference to the ‘Built Environment’ in this context, for appropriate mitigation and adaptation strategies. Through a literature review, this paper therefore examines the responses within the confine of the Built Environment, particularly, evolving pragmatic roles of the Architects in addressing the menace. In doing this, Architects’ responsive roles in form of a stand-alone approach as well as collaborations with others, within and outside the professional enclave particularly, joint integration of technological innovations for overall dwelling comfort and sustainable environment are discussed.
