Planning to live with Climate Change

15-Jul-10

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 are exploring and providing good practice examples and articles to feature on the website and in the media and will promote discussion amongst Network Members.

The RTPI Climate Change Champions met on 5 May 2010 to discuss how they can best take forward the initiative and help deliver the Institute's 7 Commitments. Read a report of the meeting.
