FIVE WAYS FOR SPATIAL PLANNING TO MAINSTREAM CLIMATE ACTION SOLUTIONS

ISOCARP-led session at the 12th World Urban Forum, Cairo, 7 November, 13h00-14h30, Multipurpose Room 13, co-sponsored by Planners for Climate Action
Any settlement with a planning system can pivot its processes and embed climate action deep into the built and natural environment, thereby accelerating transformational change. Local governments are agile and can rapidly deploy innovative policies that respond to environmental challenges. With a proactive approach, leveraging existing capabilities, methods, and systems, the governance of planning can rapidly integrate change that recognises the needs of communities, nature, the built environment, economic development, and infrastructure—setting a precedent for larger-scale governmental action.
