MON-A07: Landscape Architecture 2040: The New ASLA Climate and Biodiversity Action Plan

Monday, October 13, 2025
8:30 AM - 9:45 PM CT
1.25 PDH, LA CES/HSW

The new plan is a major update to the ASLA Climate Action Plan, which was released in 2022. It offers new climate and biodiversity goals and detailed actions for landscape architects and ASLA for 2026-2030. The scope of the new plan has been expanded – the climate and biodiversity crises are treated as equal priorities, and the focus is on actions that tackle both crises in an equitable way.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Gain actionable ideas for landscape architects in small, medium, and large firms; in non-profit organizations and community groups; in public practice; and in academia to lead the way to achieve the Landscape Architecture 2040 Vision.
  • Understand how to navigate the new ASLA Climate and Biodiversity Action Plan to access in-depth strategies under the core topics of climate, biodiversity, equity, and advocacy.
  • Identify climate and biodiversity positive planning and design practices in the new plan to achieve equitable climate and biodiversity goals for 2030.
  • Explore tools and resources to address climate injustices, empower communities, and increase equitable distribution of climate and biodiversity investments.
