Climate change is one of the most crucial issues facing communities today, and the increasing occurrence of severe weather events is just a reminder of the urgency of this issue. The RTPI is leading on guidance for planners to develop a practical understanding. This online masterclass will help you to understand how planning policy and development management should adapt and mitigate the impacts of climate change, how it affects local communities and how you can plan for effective urban drainage at a national, regional or local level.

Through a combination of expert trainer input, discussion and group work, you will:

• Gain a better understanding of sustainable development and spatial planning to future proof society
• Embed the principles of climate justice into urban planning
• Have practical case studies of effective urban drainage projects that benefit the community
• Develop an understanding of the regulatory framework for Sustainable Drainage Systems

This masterclass will be delivered through an interactive three hour webinar. There will also be a dedicated learning area for this masterclass inside RTPI Learn. It will be open for three months for structured, reflective activities with your trainer and other delegates before, during and after the live webinar.
