Position Statements

Background

The Landscape Institute is developing Position Statements on a range of public policy areas in which the profession has a key role to play. Developed by Policy Committee members, draft Position Statements are then subject to wider consultation with all members of the Landscape Institute before being approved by Council to become public statements.

Landscape architecture and the challenge of climate change

As we confront growing social, environmental and economic concern over the use of our natural resources and the development of sustainable resources, there has never been a more important time to highlight the role of the landscape profession. This Position Statement aims to outline the role of the profession in dealing with both climate change adaptation and mitigation.

Green infrastructure: connected and multifunctional landscapes

We believe that multifunctional and connected green infrastructure must be afforded the same priority as more conventional infrastructure; a priority it rightly deserves given its critical role in addressing a wide range of pressing environmental, social and economic challenges.
