Friends of the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training published their Pocantico Proclamation on Sustainability and Historic Preservation. The document makes the argument that "Historic preservation must play a central role in efforts to make the built environment more sustainable." The proclamation was conceived by 28 of the nation's leading experts in sustainability, architecture, landscape architecture, green building design, and historic preservation at a two-day conference in November 2008. "This proclamation reflects the broad thinking and inter-disciplinary cooperation necessary for dealing with climate change," said Richard Moe, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. "At its core, historic preservation promotes the wise reuse of our built environment, which is an inescapable element of sustainability."
