INNOT 23 technical workshop: climate resilience in urban planning
In person: Auditorio Joan Plaza. Jardín botánico de Valencia
It will cover both methodological approaches to integrate climate risk into spatial and urban planning, as well as governance structures to improve territorial and urban climate resilience.
Knowledge transfer will take centre stage
- A space for open debate on the potential for innovation in terms of discipline and administrative techniques in the field of spatial and urban planning for climate resilience.
- Renowned experts and researchers will take part in the event, along with representatives from different levels of public administration and other actors involved in spatial planning and climate change.
Law on Climate Change in relation to spatial planning instruments
The workshop will focus mainly on the implementation of the Law on Climate Change in relation to land and urban planning instruments. Two years after the law was adopted, it seems pertinent to take stock of the situation:
- how this Law on Climate Change and Energy Transition has impacted in practice
- how it is being implemented
- and enablers for and barriers to learning lessons and making proposals for the innovation required to speed up the incorporation of climate change into technical policy instruments.
Live broadcast via YouTube
The event will be broadcast live on the YouTube channel of the Valencia Regional Culture Department.
