Viable example set on climate change
Language: English Series: Planning (for the Natural and Built Environment) ; (1618) 6 May 2005, 14-15(2)Publication details: 2005Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: Proposes that planning has a crucial role to play in adapting to climate change and that spatial planning frameworks are poorly developed and unable to deal adequately with it. Examines in detail the international, four-year European Spatial Planning: Adapting to Climate Events (ESPACE) project, funded by the European Commission's INTERREG IIIB programme and the ODPM. This is the first project of its kind to focus on increasing awareness of the need to adapt to climate change and the provision of necessary policy guides, tools and mechanisms to incorporate adaptation into planning. Looks at regional planning and climate change and the Environment Agency's development of a decision-testing tool to be used with simulated future climate change scenarios. Lists the ESPACE partners.Proposes that planning has a crucial role to play in adapting to climate change and that spatial planning frameworks are poorly developed and unable to deal adequately with it.
