Place Standard with Climate Lens Launched

In September the Place Standard Climate Lens was launched to help people understand how climate change might play out in a local area and support them to design their future place with climate in mind.

It builds on the core Place Standard tool that was launched in 2015, and is designed to support a joined up, collaborative, and participative approach to climate action within a place.

The Climate Lens includes a suite of tools for facilitators and organisers of Place Standard sessions, and it follows the same, easy to use approach as the core Place Standard tool. Adding the Climate Lens to Place Standard sessions will help to consider how big trends such as climate change and decarbonisation might affect a place.

Supporting guidance provides prompts for questions to frame discussion around the two 'big challenges' as a more accessible way for people to think about the two sides of climate change, and the need to take action for both:-

The Climate Lens tool and guidance is available on the Place Standard website, here - https://www.ourplace.scot/Place-Standard-Climate
