IFLA APR Newsletter: August Edition | International Federation of Landscape Architects

Welcome to the August Edition of IFLA APR's Newsletter!

In this edition, we introduce 2 new communication channels: LINE and Webchat (on IFLA APR Webpages) for the IFLA APR community to connect with us, ask questions, provide feedback, volunteering and more!

Next, to follow-up on our climate change advocacy, our resident writer, Crystal, shares with us on how "Less is More" for climate change, opening with IPCC’s 6th Assessment Report. For our corporate member feature, we are glad to have OCULUS this month to share with us their projects and visions, such as acknowledging, celebrating indigenous cultures and much more.

Next month, look out for YLAA's First Ever YLAA International Hangout event LIVE on Facebook @iflaapr on 23 September 2021, 4-5.30pm SGT! With exciting topics like today's urgent global climate challenges and design for tomorrow.
