Workshop: Climate Change - Impact Assessment Tools for City Planners

The International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA), organises this in-person workshop as part of the special events associated with the Symposium on Impact Assessment and Climate Change ( 27-28 September 2022) in Cape Town, South Africa.

With a lineup of local, continental and international speakers, the workshop will challenge current thinking and explore how impact assessment practitioners can support urban and regional planners in addressing long-term cumulative climate and global impacts in their City Development Strategies and long-range planning.

This will include looking at the current state of urban development and its resilience to climate change, followed by a series of short presentations and a panel discussion on impact assessment’s role in planning for 2050 and beyond.

The afternoon sessions will be in a World Café format, providing the opportunity for participants to discuss pertinent questions facing city planners and impact assessment professionals. 

Who should attend? City planners, climate change experts, social impact assessment specialists and environmental assessment practitioners.

Cost: US$115 for symposium participants / US$145 for non-participants.
