In 2020, the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) declared a climate emergency. This declaration recognised that there was not enough being done to alleviate the negative and harmful effects on the natural and build environment of our changing climate.
PIA knew that this declaration must be backed up with concrete measures. Our campaign for climate-conscious planning systems is how PIA calls for climate action creating meaningful outcomes, giving planners the tools needed to make decisions that address our changing climate.
PIA is calling for every Australian state and territory planning system to undertake ten key reforms to become climate-conscious.
