Description
Description | Catalyze and accelerate climate action through responsible and transformative urban and regional planning practice, education and research. |
---|---|
Objectives | The initiative has three objectives:
• Integrate climate change in the professional practices of all planners and their institutions through integrated approaches that reduce emissions, and prepare human settlements to adapt to climate change; • Build the capacity of all planners by ensuring that all graduate-level urban/regional planning curricula prepare planners to be effective climate change professionals; • Support and commission research that can strengthen knowledge at the intersect of planning practices and climate change. Through the above, the initiative will: • Increase the number of human settlements that incorporate mitigation and adaptation actions into their development strategies and plans; • Support national governments to achieve their mitigation targets and adaptation plans through enabling and transformative planning approaches. |
Activities | In the first biennium (2018-19), the following actions are foreseen:
• Increased visibility and membership of the initiative • Global mapping of current programs and projects that support the integration of climate change into planning practices, curriculum and research • Commencement of a global, interactive “State of Climate Change and Planning” multimedia report • Establishment and promotion of a Repository of planning curricula/syllabi that show promise in integrating climate change issues |
