MKSK LAB for Climate & Biodiversity Resilience

Our Call to Action

Climate change and the loss of biodiversity are real challenges that we face today and into the future. These challenges are urgent and complex, but we are able to make a difference now if we all work together to implement solutions. The MKSK LAB for Climate Change and Biodiversity Resilience is a commitment to explore and implement policies, practices, and design solutions to reduce our impact on the planet. It is a springboard from which we can join together to benefit our environment, and human health and well-being. As urban planners and landscape architects at MKSK, we work across scales to help clients enact positive change. We are committed to exploring new ideas, testing them, and measuring the results.
