SEPA’s joint agency directory on climate
change
A ‘one stop shop’ of resources and guidance on climate change issues is now available on the planning
portal of the SEPA website. SEPA has taken
a leading role in producing the directory in partnership with other agencies
and the Scottish Government as part of our delivering planning reform commitments.
Whilst the document is primarily aimed at assisting planning authorities embed
climate change issues into their decision-making, it includes links to sources
of information that 2020 members and delivery partners may find of use when
considering climate change issues in other areas of work. The directory will
be updated regularly as new sources of information and guidance become available.
The Scottish Government have recently made it available on their
website here and the RTPI have added it to their useful Climate
Change Compendium.
