Assessing the Climate Change Fitness of Spatial Planning: A Guidance for Planners.

Description

This guidance for planners on national, regional and local levels gives advice on how to assess the “climate change fitness” of their spatial planning policies and instruments. It provides a practical step-by-step assessment of the climate change fitness of spatial planning, and it recommends useful tools and resources to implement this assessment. Core elements of the guidance have been successfully field-tested and applied in the CLISP project model regions (www.clisp.eu). The guidance document was developed in the project “CLISP - Climate Change Adaptation by Spatial Planning in the Alpine Space” within the framework of the European Territorial Cooperation Alpine Space Programme 2007-2013.
