Öz

Ecological and green economic solutions that are in harmony with nature, sustainable, and low-carbon form the basis for creating a strong, resilient, healthy, and livable environment. In this context, interdisciplinary collaboration has made it imperative to develop solutions that are in harmony with nature. The Landscape Architecture (LA) discipline is positioned as an actor that can provide significant services and contributions through sustainable nature
(ecological) based solutions in the planning, design, management, rehabilitation, improvement, and development of natural and cultural spaces to mitigate and adapt to climate change impacts. This book chapter examines the duties, responsibilities, services, and contributions of the Landscape Architecture (LA) discipline in relation to this topic.
