Climate Action

SAT-A02: Bridging Climate Divides: Integrating Research, Teaching, and Practice

Saturday, October 11, 2025
11:00 AM – 12:15 PM CT
1.25 PDH, LA CES/HSW

As climate challenges intensify, the need for adaptive landscapes has never been more urgent. This panel will discuss the role of interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration by highlighting approaches that bridge the boundaries of research, education, and professional practice to shape the next generation of landscape architects for leading climate action.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand how landscape architecture education can integrate climate action principles to prepare future professionals for addressing resilience challenges, particularly in socially vulnerable communities.
  • Explore interdisciplinary approaches in research and practice that inform climate-resilient design strategies across different geographic regions (Caribbean, East Coast, and West Coast).
  • Learn about emerging methods for monitoring nature-based infrastructure and their effectiveness in addressing climate risks.
  • Identify ways to bridge academia and professional practice in advancing climate-focused design and policy advocacy.
