Course Details

ASLA is taking a significant step forward with its first Climate Action Plan. The ambitious plan seeks to transform the practice of landscape architecture by 2040 through actions taken by ASLA and its members focused on climate mitigation and adaptation, ecological restoration, biodiversity, equity, and economic development. The Climate Action Field Guide for ASLA Members sets out steps landscape architects and allied design and planning professionals can take today to address the climate and biodiversity crises.
