BRIEFING: MAKING COP26 COUNT

1.

Making COP26 Count all year round The UK retains the presidency of COP26 until November 2022, when COP27 will take place in Egypt. Three months after the gathering in Glasgow, the implications of this event are slowly being understood. In a series of articles, we reflect on the event through the eyes of one landscape architect, consider the ways in which individual practitioners are changing how they work, and provide a policy-led analysis. 2.

Landscape Journal Spring 2022: Whose landscape is it?

Published on Feb 25, 2022

Landscape, the journal of the Landscape Institute

The question at the heart of this edition is posed by Siraaj Mitha, head of Accelerate, who says, “Our personal stories, journeys and memories are never without a physical backdrop to contextualise them. Surely then, the decisions affecting the construction of the built environment should be made democratically and should represent the population that it serves.” The topics covered in this edition are examples of building blocks which create change, from individual users campaigning through to local projects producing tools that everyone can use, on to large national organisations striving to effect permanent change and improvement in our understanding of and ability to achieve greater inclusivity. It is only by connecting local and national changes that we will link with wider global efforts and move forward.
