You are here: Home > News > Climate Change Training - SW Climate Change Training for Planners in the South WestWe worked with South West Sustainability Training Network to develop, trial and deliver training materials on planning for climate change. A set of training modules has been developed with funding from South West Councils and the South West RIEP. They are linked to the Planners' Toolkit developed for RegenSW. The training is being delivered to planning policy officers, development managers and elected members. The modules can be combined to provide full or half-day courses for different audiences. The training menu is outlined in detail here and on the Planners Toolkit website. The planning system has a key role to play in addressing climate change. Across the UK, local authority planners are dealing with stretching targets for renewable energy and sustainable buildings, getting to grips with the implications of emerging technologies and evolving government policies. The new Government has confirmed that key elements of the policy will remain, including possibly increased targets for renewables, the move to zero carbon for new buildings, and the provision of feed in tariffs. For more information, please contact the team manager Gerard Couper, South West Sustainability Training Network / CAG Consultants on 01364 653003 or gc@cagconsult.co.uk.
