The adverse effects of global climate change on the production and life of human including extreme drought, sea level rise, and reduced biodiversity are increasingly receiving attention.Landscape architecture can mitigate and adapt to the negative impacts of climate change by coordinating the relationship between humans and nature.Constructing a method and system for landscape architecture in responding to climate change has important and practical significance for better utilizing the functions of landscape architecture and promoting the development of landscape architecture disciplines.Three shortcomings in existing practices including insufficient understanding of the complexity of climate change, a disconnect between theory and practice in addressing climate change, and a lack of guarantee mechanisms for implementation were summarized by reviewing the practices and related concepts of landscape architecture in response to climate change at home and abroad.This article tentatively proposed the design of climate initiative for landscape architecture to positively address the comprehensive driving factors of climate change.The design method and technical system of climate initiative should be constructed from the perspectives of definition, characteristics, processes, methods, and implementation mechanisms.It will provide reference for the practice of designing landscape architecture with climate initiative.
