The IFLA GLA Awards celebrate the projects, policies, and people shaping a resilient future. In a world facing a climate crisis and biodiversity loss, we don't need another competition. We need collaboration!

The IFLA Global Landscape Architecture Awards are designed to recognise the diverse, impactful work of landscape architects worldwide. From Indigenous stewardship to high-tech climate resilience, we are elevating the voices that matter.

Winning projects will not just receive a trophy—they will become part of the IFLA Hub, a global resource for research, advocacy, and policy-making.
