Climate & Sustainability Working Group

The APA International Division has recently established a Climate & Sustainability Working Group. The goals of the new Climate & Sustainability Working Group are to:

• Foster discussion related to international dimensions of climate action, resilience, and sustainability within APA and abroad
  
• Bring overseas innovations in resilience and climate action planning to American planners and communities
• Better understand the US’s achievement of the SDGs especially related to planning
• Increase US planner visibility in international SDG and climate processes
• Facilitate International Division planners to help the world meet the SDGs and the 1.5 degrees Paris Agreement target.

To help accomplish these goals, the team will organize quarterly meetings that will introduce participants to tools, techniques, and methodologies for planning and measuring climate adaptation, resilience and sustainability.
