The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) announced it will join a global coalition of 70,000 landscape architects that are committed to limiting planetary warming to 2.7 Fahrenheit.

 
"ASLA is proud to be joining forces with IFLA and the global community of landscape architects in advancing our climate action goals," said Torey Carter-Conneen, CEO, ASLA, "We speak as one voice, globally, when it comes to advancing climate action."

ASLA committed to the six goals outlined in the IFLA Climate Action Commitment which include, Advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), Attaining Global Net Zero Emissions by 2040, Enhancing Capacity and Resilience of Livable Cities and Communities, Advocating for Climate Justice and Social Well-Being, Learning from Cultural Knowledge Systems, and Galvanizing Climate Leadership.

"In a year marked by historic flooding in Europe and China and deadly wildfires and heat waves in the United States, it's clear we're running out of time to start healing a century's worth of harm done to our Earth and its atmosphere," said Tom Mroz, FASLA, ASLA President.
