Keenan Gibbons: "We inadvertently reward infrastructure that absorbs and stores heat while struggling to recognize the value of more cost-effective infrastructure that dissipates it. If heat happens at the scale of a sidewalk, its costs happen at the scale of society." |

“Landscape architects have a lot of practical knowledge to offer policymakers on how to design cities and communities that protect and restore biodiversity,” said Aida Curtis, FASLA, President, Curtis + Rogers Design Studio, and Chair, ASLA Climate & Biodiversity Action Committee. |

Earthjustice, the Center for Biological Diversity, Sierra Club and eight other organizations have sued the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service to undo the federal administration's efforts to change the definition of harm under the Endangered Species Act. |

The ASLA 2026 Conference on Landscape Architecture in Los Angeles, September 16-18, brings together the field’s leading voices on climate resilience, carbon-conscious design, and restorative landscapes. Join us for three days to learn the latest on climate & biodiversity action. |
