From 10–21 November, world leaders, policymakers, and innovators will gather in Belém, Brazil for COP30 — a pivotal moment to redefine how nations respond to the climate crisis.
As landscape architects, we hold a unique global responsibility: to connect people with place, to design with nature, and to lead through evidence-based, regenerative design that supports both climate adaptation and community resilience.
At AILA, our 2025 Advocacy Manifesto aligns with the global call to action by championing four priorities that echo the goals of COP30:
1. Policy & Regulatory Change — Embed green and blue infrastructure as global standards in urban planning and strengthen environmental protections that restore biodiversity.
2. Targeted Investment — Advocate for international and national funding streams dedicated to nature-based solutions that deliver measurable outcomes for health, climate, and economy.
3. Improved Governance & Delivery — Support cross-border leadership and coordination to ensure landscape-led, climate-resilient planning and equitable access to green space.
4. Knowledge & Capacity Building — Invest in global education, research, and skills development to empower the next generation of climate-positive designers and planners.
The world is watching — and listening.
Landscape architects across the globe are shaping the dialogue from local streetscapes to international frameworks. Your insights can help position our profession as a key driver of nature-based climate action.
