12th Biennial motto: The Poetics of Remediation

Landscape remediation entails a profound reflection on our connection with the Earth and our ethical commitment to the vision of Earth as a self-regulating and complex system, as proposed by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis—the concept of Gaia. Restoration and remediation encompass the recognition of the intricate consequences brought about by the Anthropocene era, underlining the pressing need for transformative actions to combat climate change through adaptation and mitigation.
