The consequences of climate change are likely to be far more severe, particularly in regions where the impacts of drought and flooding are likely to have major consequences for people, wildlife and landscapes. Climate change has the potential to render some locations uninhabitable, with conflict over access to water, energy and food already evident. (1.5) These competing demands require regenerated landscapes, to be planned, designed and managed in a far more sustainable way than is currently practised. This needs to be based on a thorough understanding of ecosystem services and the interconnectivity of natural processes and human life. (1.6) Landscapes that are multifunctional have the ability to provide food, energy, water storage and flood mitigation as well as providing a valuable resource for biodiversity and promoting health and well being. The holistic approach of the landscape architect means that the profession has a responsibility for environmental stewardship (2.1) ~ Landscape Institute Position Statement on Climate Change 2019
