Planning to live with climate change

YOUNG PLANNERS & CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate Change is probably the single largest global challenge faced by us all. As the next generation of planners, we will inevitably have a lot of challenges to face as climate change begins to significantly impact the way we live. We must act now, move forward and continue with best practice in our day to day work.

The RTPI launched its 7 Commitments on Climate Change (pdf) and have established a cross-network of Climate Change Champions.

The Young Planners' Climate Change Champions are:

Lucy Botterill
Adrien Waite

They are responsible for providing good practice examples and articles to feature on this website and find out what Young Planners are doing to contribute to the RTPI's 7 Commitments on Climate Change (pdf).

Our Seven Commitments

All parts of the RTPI are involved in delivering its Planning to live with climate change initiative. The RTPI has set out Seven Commitments on Climate Change (pdf), which are supported by a living and continuously improved action plan that will deliver practical outcomes, benefiting communities at the global and the local scale.

We want to hear from you

We'd love to hear about you and what you do to contribute to the RTPI's 7 commitments on Climate Change. We are interested to hear from anyone in planning from the public to private sector from enforcement to planning policy. Please get in touch.

If you know of any events or interesting articles relating to climate change please let us know so we can let all Young Planners know via the website.
