The seven commitments of the Royal Town Planning Institute

The UK Royal Town Planning Institute promotes a professional response to the challenge of climate change under the form of seven commitments.

As stated on their website,

“Planning to Live with Climate Change” introduces the challenge posed by delivering sustainable responses to climate change as an over-arching priority into the original “New Vision for Planning”. It revisits the key issues of sustainable development, spatial planning, value-driven planning and action-orientated planning and it then develops the original agenda for change into an action plan focussed on professional leadership, vision and delivery to promote fundamental shifts in practice in response to climate change.

The RTPI suggests that measures to mitigate climate change should have priority over the conventional balance between economic, social and environmental factors in planning for sustainable development in areas where there is a challenge to the survival of human civilisations and natural ecosystems. This challenge might, for example, be defined in relation to targets for reducing the carbon and related greenhouse gas emissions that drive global warming.

The commitments objectives finally aim

to promote behavioural change.
to adapt existing places.
to deliver climate change responsive legislation and policies.
to improve current practice.
to celebrate best practice.
to develop a compendium of best practice.
to develop climate change education and skills.

en ce qui concerne ce décès je suis plutôt de l'avis de ceux qui prêchent la tolérance. nous vivons en France et nous portons une haine faouche et inutile aux français qui sont au Cameroun, raisonnons plutot en terme de paix.
Par contre une question me vient à l'esprit, que faisait ce monsieur "malade" à l'hotel alors qu'il avait une femme avec qui il vivait???
Pour le gamin qui insulte les frères BOUGUEN, je pense que la haine ou plutôt la jalousie que tu leur manifestes n'est qu'une preuve de leur réussite ou de leur puissance. alors cesses d'être aigri, bats toi pour ta vie ou alors va leur dire en face ce que tu penses.
