The American Planning Association (APA) and the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) have partnered together on a three-year research and education project on the integration of climate change and energy issues into planning practice.
While most planners recognize these issues are connected to planning, they are still working to translate this into on the ground plans, actions, and regulations.
Planners have an important role to play in helping communities meet energy needs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and adapt to a changing climate.

Energy and Climate Database
A searchable database offers examples of state and community action on climate change and other documents to help planners understand and address this issue.
Climate Change Reader
A compilation of nearly 100 articles from several APA publications, in one user-friendly reader for APA members. Articles, categorized by topic, range from big-picture assessments to situation-specific tools and techniques.
