We are proud that the Community Planning Alliance is one of a group of planning and environmental organisations that have issued an urgent call to Government to put the climate crisis at the heart of all planning decisions.
The statement, issued in the run up to the crucial 2021 COP conference in Glasgow, highlights the power of planning to promote renewable energy, restrict fossil fuels and design places which reduce energy use and promote walking and cycling.
