The organization upholds the highest standards in education, training, research and professional practice, while providing leadership on key issues shaping the profession worldwide.

Areas of Collaboration

CLARB is proud to be a corporate member of IFLA, working together to advance international access, mobility, and professional recognition for landscape architects. Through this collaboration, CLARB and IFLA conducted a Global Job Task Analysis, providing critical insights into professional practice and regulation worldwide.

CLARB is also exploring international equivalency models and working with IFLA to develop a framework for mutual recognition of qualifications. These efforts help create consistent licensure standards across jurisdictions, making it easier for landscape architects to practice globally while maintaining high professional standards to protect the public and the environment.
