Our Vision for 2040

All landscape architecture projects will simultaneously:

  • Achieve zero embodied and operational emissions and increase carbon sequestration
  • Provide significant economic benefits in the form of measurable ecosystem services, health co-benefits, sequestration, and green jobs
  • Address climate injustices, empower communities, and increase equitable distribution of climate investments
  • Restore ecosystems and increase and protect biodiversity

To achieve this vision, ASLA’s Climate Action Plan Task Force and Advisory Group have developed a comprehensive Plan and Field Guide for Members.
