Climate Change is probably single largest global challenge faced by us all. To do it's part, the RTPI has  launched Planning to Live with Climate Change - Our 7 Commitments, which are: 

1 Promote behavioural change
2 Adapt existing places
3 Work towards responsive legislation and policies
4 Improve current practice
5 Celebrate best practice
6 Compile a compendium of best practice
7 Develop climate change education and skills.

To help achieve these aims, the RTPI Networks have appointed Network Climate Change Champions who will press widely for change and adaptation. 

Our Champions will explore and provide good practice examples and articles to feature on the website and in the media and will promote discussion amongst Network Members.
