INNOT 23 Technical Workshop: Innovation in Territorial and Urban Planning for Climate Resilience

The workshop will address methodological approaches to integrate climate risk into territorial and urban planning, as well as governance structures to promote territorial and urban climate resilience.

Knowledge transfer will take centre stage

  • A space to discuss the possibilities of innovation in relation to the discipline and technical aspects of territorial and urban planning for climate resilience.
  • Renowned experts and researchers are taking part, as well as representatives from various public administrations, and other stakeholders connected to territorial planning and climate change.

Climate change law in territorial planning tools

The main focus of the workshop is the application of the law on climate change in territorial and urban planning tools. Two years after it was passed, it seems appropriate to take stock of the situation:

  • How this Climate Change and Energy Transition law has had an impact in practice;
  • How it is being implemented;
  • And factors that either help or hinder the situation, in order to extract lessons learnt and proposals for innovation that are required to streamline the incorporation of climate change into technical policy tools.
