Description
The ASLA guide Decarbonizing the Design Process offers a phase-by-phase structure to decarbonize design through big ideas, strategies, and best practices. This webinar will explore the guide, with its high-level approach that can be implemented regardless of project type, scope, and scale.
As landscape architects and design professionals, our decisions shape the built environment—and with it, our planet’s future. The built environment is responsible for 42 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, making decarbonization a critical priority.
By integrating low-carbon strategies, addressing environmental impacts, and advocating for sustainable practices, we can lead the shift toward a more climate-positive future.
Join us to discover how thoughtful design choices at every phase can contribute to a more resilient and regenerative world.
