Building a resilient environment – sector tools and resources

Climate Ready and Climate UK launched a suite of resources that help to support the crucial role planning plays in delivering a resilient and well adapted built environment. The new resources cover six principal topics:

1. Statutory drivers for adaptation
2. Making the business case for adaptation
3. Green Infrastructure as an adaptation response
4. How developments and buildings can be adapted
5. Neighbourhood planning
6. Achieving resilience through Planning policy

In September and October there will be a series of events are free of charge to launch these training materials. These events will:

• Bring stakeholders up to date with the latest developments on guidance, stator drivers and wider activity delivered by Climate Ready
• Disseminate new and updated resources developed from recent Climate Change Skills programme for Planners and Developers
• Illustrate local good practice in action and strategic plans to increase resilience in the built environment.

The events will be suitable for planners, climate change and sustainability officers, regeneration officers and developers looking to consolidate their knowledge of climate change and planning issues and use their knowledge to build capacity in their own organisations.

These events are being hosted in Manchester, London, Durham, Melton Mowbray and Cambridge. Please see our booking page for dates and venues and to book your place.
