Celebrate best practice

The RTPI will identify ideas and work that demonstrate inspiring responses to climate change as candidates for all of our awards. The RTPI assesses and judges many entries for its existing planning awards. We shall ensure that tackling the climate change imperative is a fundamental requirement of our awards schemes.

We will use our awards to provide case studies that represent inspirational practice in responding to climate change.
