Organized by ISOCARP in collaboration with the Global Planning Education Association Network (GPEAN), this special session aims to discuss how planning education and practice are, or should be, responding to climate crises. What competencies do the practicing planners need to deal with climate emergency? What competencies do planning schools provide? Do our current curricula provide prospective planers with sufficient knowledge and skills to respond to the challenges of climate change and take climate action? How can we adapt the planning curricula to achieve an ecological and social transition that observes climate justice? With examples from Europe, North America, and Australia, the session aims to provide insights into the changes that are needed to prepare prospective planners for playing an effective role in developing climate-responsive strategies.
