Sustainable Regional and Urban Communities Adapting to Climate Change
PIA (Qld) has developed a comprehensive four stage project with the aim of developing planning tools which can prepare communities and industries for the likely impacts associated with climate change.
- View the Papers from June 21st (please contact webdesign@planning.org.au for a copy)
The first stage established the need for the project, secured our project partners and was completed in May 2003. From this preliminary research is clear that
- The planning profession currently does not have the tools available to address climate change
- Climate is of interest and concern to planners
- Forecasts are seen as too uncertain and lack political and community support
- There is an expectation nationally and internationally that planning will do 'something'.
This project is ground breaking work both nationally and internationally.
The following reports are available:
- Initial Scoping Study
- Preliminary Literature Review
- Presentation to Academy of Science - December 18 & 19 2002 by Sharon Boyle, Policy & CPD Coordinator PIA, Qld
