Following the publication of the Landscape and Carbon report in March 2024, the Landscape Institute has been developing learning materials to help practitioners adopt a lower-carbon approach in their projects. This includes developing a Landscape Carbon Overlay for the Plan of Work, setting out low carbon actions that can be adopted at each stage of a landscape project.
The Landscape Carbon Overlay is complemented by detailed information and links relating to 5 Key Actions to achieve a low-carbon approach, and case studies illustrate how these actions can be put into practice. The learning materials are presented in a user-friendly format, following a step-by-step approach, and are suitable for landscape architects and other related professionals, as well as developers working to deliver lower carbon projects whilst ensuring quality and cost-effective outputs.
Learning outcomes,
- Understand the importance of reducing the carbon footprint of landscape projects.
- Understand the five key actions that will help reduce the carbon footprint of landscape projects.
- Recognise the importance of reducing the carbon footprint at every stage of the process, as set out in the Plan of Works.
