Climate Action Plan – Cheat Sheet

Here is a handy Cheat Sheet the WASLA Climate Action Committee has put together to help you dive into ASLA’s Climate Action Plan (CAP). Print the cheat sheet out and have it ready at your desk for a quick reference of what’s included in the CAP Field Guide.

CAP Field Guide - WA Resource List

The Climate Action Committee is forming a list of helpful resources related to the topics covered in the CAP Field Guide that are specific to Washington State or the greater PNW. Help us form this list of resources to empower the Washington State collective of landscape architects as we work to achieve the goals of the Climate Action Plan Field Guide!

We are collecting resources here.

Resources might include local tools, metrics, white papers or references to other experts or institutions (scientists, government groups, non-profits etc.) that are working toward similar goals as ASLA’s climate action plan. The WASLA Climate Committee will be pooling and working to vet these resources and will share with the Chapter at large.
