Together the ASLA Climate Action Plan and the Climate Action Field Guide for ASLA Members chart a pathway for landscape architects to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions in their projects and operations and increase carbon sequestration by 2040.

Key Points: 
  • Together the ASLA Climate Action Plan and the Climate Action Field Guide for ASLA Members chart a pathway for landscape architects to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions in their projects and operations and increase carbon sequestration by 2040.
  • By 2040, all landscape architecture projects will simultaneously:
    Provide significant economic benefits in the form of measurable ecosystem services, health co-benefits, sequestration, and green jobs
    Landscape architects are already helping communities achieve this vision.
  • To accomplish the plan, ASLA, as a non-profit association, has also committed to achieving zero emissions in its operations by 2040.
  • Founded in 1899, the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) is the professional association for landscape architects in the United States, representing more than 15,000 members.

The EEA briefing, Cutting greenhouse gas emissions through circular economy actions in the buildings sector, says actions like reducing the use of concrete, cement and steel in the building sector can cut materials-related greenhouse gas emissions by 61% over a buildings life cycle stages until 2050.

Key Points: 
  • The EEA briefing, Cutting greenhouse gas emissions through circular economy actions in the buildings sector, says actions like reducing the use of concrete, cement and steel in the building sector can cut materials-related greenhouse gas emissions by 61% over a buildings life cycle stages until 2050.
  • The EEA assessment presents a new methodological approach which can help identify and prioritise circular efforts that can contribute to reducing emissions in any sector.
  • The study found that each of a buildings life cycle stages from design, production and use to demolition and waste management offers rich opportunity for greater circularity and emission reductions.
  • Other actions ranging from increasing occupancy rate to improved maintenance that extends a buildings lifetime also offer good potential to reduce emissions.
