Abstract

This document provides advice and is not planning policy guidance, though references to relevant policy guidance are made throughout. It is intended to provide planning professionals with an overview of the current thinking and state of knowledge on the planning response to climate change. It is recognised that planning practice on adaptation to climate change impacts is still developing. It is hoped that the advice will stimulate planners to look for new strategies to respond to the changing climate in partnership with developers and the wider community. The advice centers on five themes: (1) Act Now, (2) Make the Links, (3) Spread the Word, (4) Make the best use of existing tools, and (5) Make effective use of existing instruments.
