The IFLA World Congress is the most important annual event for the Landscape Architecture profession and the IFLA community. It offers professional development and networking opportunities for practitioners, entrepreneurs, educators, researchers, students, journalists, and anyone interested in the impact of landscape architecture on our society, economy, and culture. It is also an international event where challenges in education, current trends, and issues in professional practice are discussed, and answers to all problems are sought.

Herein, the 2024 IFLA 60th World Congress calls for humankind to take urgent action to prevent the worst impacts of environmental crises. Acknowledging human responsibility, the Congress invites policymakers, professionals, scientists, and individuals on stage to establish discourse and a course for the Earth’s future.
