Planners vs Climate Change

"[Geologist Phil] Hill believes that it is time for planners to take over from scientists in advocating climate change policies. Planners, he argued, can play an important role in developing and advocating plans that slow down the effects of green house gases and adapt human settlements to changing climates. Through mitigation, planners can try to limit climate change by promoting efficient land use, low carbon infrastructure and energy strategies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In a second approach, adaptation, planners and policymakers adjust human settlements to weather predicted changes."
