WORLD SUMMIT CLIMATE AND TERRITORIES
LYON – 1 & 2 JULY 2015
TERRITORIAL PLANNING WORKSHOP
Outline
Territorial and urban planning promoted by subnational and local governments is an effective
instrument to tackle climate change. First, subnational and local governments are often responsible
for the development and the implementation of policies, plans, strategies, programs and initiatives
that directly influence GHG emissions and address the impacts of climate change This is the case of
policies and legislation in the field of land management and urban organisation (mobility, housing,
access to basic services, agriculture, natural spaces), economic and social inclusion, resources
management (energy, water), waste and risk protection. Second, 50% to 80% of adaptation and
mitigation actions necessary to tackle climate change are or will be implemented at the subnational
or local levels.
This workshop, organised by nrg4SD and FNAU, will discuss the importance of territorial and urban
planning promoted by local and subnational governments in addressing climate change. It will focus
on the design of tools and indicators, and on the implementation of territorial and urban policies. It
will also consider the importance of adapting policies to different contexts, as well as of designing
and implementing them collaboratively with citizens and stakeholders.
The workshop will offer an opportunity for local and subnational authorities, urban, sectorial and
territorial practitioners, civil society and international organizations to dialogue and discuss how to
design and improve resilience, envisaging low-carbon cities and territories in the future.
