Environment Planning & Protection Network
The environmental agenda is never far from the thoughts of planners. Over the years concerns have changed from wildlife, landscape and pollution issues to a much wider consideration of short and long term impacts on the human environment.
The Environmental Planning and Protection Network aims to enable its members to make better informed decisions.
Climate Change
Climate Change is probably the single largest global challenge faced by us all. To do its part, the RTPI has launched Planning to Live with Climate Change - Our 7 Commitments.
To help achieve the aims of this initiative, the RTPI Networks have appointed Climate Change Champions.
|
With members from across the Networks, the Champions will press widely for change and adaptation. For more details on the work currently being carried out by the Environmental Planning and Protection Network on climate change, click here |

Join one of our interest groups! Focus on Biodiversity
The Network's Biodiversity Interest group is continuing to work on a joint project with the Green Building Council to develop a proposed standard method for collating information about changes to biodiversity as a result of development, which may feed into a national demonstration project on capturing biodiversity planning data, which will be supported by the Defra Fund for Local Biodiversity Recording
