She has experience in a wide variety of projects in the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, bringing a greater understanding of the implications for sustainable design in different climatic, social and regulatory contexts.

As a recognised expert in her field, Mina has been elected to, and is actively involved in the UK Green Building Council’s Board of Trustees, Royal Institute of British Architects’ Council and the Practice & Policy Board Committee, UNEP/Global Alliance for Buildings & Construction’s COP Task Force, Commonwealth Association of Architects (as Chair of Practice), UK Construction Industry Council’s Climate Change Committee, Architects’ Council of Europe, World Green Building Council’s Advancing Net Zero Steering Committee, and International WELL Building Institute’s Health Equity Advisory Group.

Mina regularly contributes to the wider climate change, sustainability and wellbeing debate in her role as tutor at various academic institutions, including The Bartlett (UCL), the Architectural Association, and Manchester School of Architecture, among others, as well as a regularly invited speaker at many international events. Developed in her leadership, the trans-disciplinary, “Climate Framework” Initiative is transforming the global built environment sector and academia by uniting all actors to collaborate and build collective capacity for long-lasting climate action. With the widespread success she obtained with this Initiative, Mina defined the RIBA’s Mandatory Competence requirements for climate literacy, and authored the “RIBA Climate Guide”.
