This webinar forms part of our RTPI Online series and is brought to you by RTPI Scotland.
RTPI Scotland is delighted to be working with Scotland’s Climate Assembly on future approaches to tackling climate change. Grounded in Scotland's Climate Change Act (2019), Scotland’s Climate Assembly brought together a group of people who are broadly representative of the Scottish population to learn about and discuss the question, ‘How should Scotland change to tackle the climate emergency in an effective and fair way?' Arising from this they have published their Recommendations for Action Report which includes 81 policy recommendations from the Assembly's 100+ members, a number of which relate to planning and the planning system. You can read the report here.
This webinar is open to all and will look to explore these recommendations to identify priorities, assess their practicability and agree what would need to be done to make them a reality. Our speakers will each examine a group of recommendations contained in the report, setting out their views on them in order to tee up wider discussion. There will be an opportunity for delegates to get involved in the debate after these presentations.
