CSLA launches continuing education program on climate change adaptation

The CSLA has announced a new continuing education program on climate change adaptation for Canadian landscape architects.

The program, called landADAPT: Landscape Architects Navigating and Designing for Adaptation, aims to help landscape architects by developing tools and communication resources tailored for the profession.

CSLA’s landADAPT program will include a monthly webinar series, a series of climate change case studies, and a new online professional development course designed specifically for Canadian landscape architects.

As part of the program, CSLA will host up to 16 live-streamed webinar events over the next two years. The webinars will feature experts from across Canada and a global network who will highlight climate change challenges.

An upcoming webinar, which will take place on December 12, 2024, will feature Joanna Eyquem, who will discuss progress and examples of efforts to mainstream consideration of nature-based solutions. This will range from strategic approaches and technical guidance, to integration in municipal management and financial reporting.

The CSLA will also curate a series of Canadian case studies, and put a spotlight on adaptive and resilient landscape architecture projects. Case studies will serve as educational tools, bolster CSLA’s advocacy efforts, and empower members to make the business case for adaptation measures to their clients and/or target audiences.

Additionally, the CSLA is preparing and delivering a new online professional development course to provide members with the latest in climate data, risk assessments, and adaptation strategies to support their practice. The course will include modules catered to landscape architects at various career stages.
