Landscape Architecture 2040: Climate & Biodiversity Action Plan is organized into two volumes – one for ASLA members, which include landscape architects and designers, educators and students, product manufacturers and material suppliers, and one for ASLA and ASLA Chapters. Both volumes are organized around four key goals:
Climate: Scale up climate positive approaches
Biodiversity: Protect, conserve, restore, enhance and manage
Equity: Amplify the power of people and communities
Advocacy: Advance climate and biodiversity action through leadership and engagement
The new plan is designed to act as a resource and guide the climate and biodiversity work of landscape architecture firms and organizations of all sizes. It will also direct all ASLA climate and biodiversity programs and investments from 2026 to 2030. Collective goals and actions will be revisited and updated in 2030 and every five years until 2040 and beyond.
