Planning for Climate Change: Strategies for Mitigation and Adaptation for Spatial Planners

PUBLISHER Routledge (11/26/2015)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description

Climate change is changing the context of spatial planning and shaping its priorities. It has strengthened its environmental dimension and has become a new rationale for coordinating actions and integrating different policy priorities.

This book sets out the economic, social and environmental challenges that climate change raises for urban and regional planners and explores current and potential responses. These are set within the context of recent research and scholarly works on the role of spatial planning in combating climate change. Addressing both mitigation measures for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to the effects of climate change, the book provides an overview of emerging practice, with analysis of the drivers of policy change and practical implementation of measures. It scopes planning issues and opportunities at different spatial scales, drawing on both the UK and international experiences and highlighting the need to link global and local responses to shared risks and opportunities.

Editor: Crawford, Jenny
Jenny Crawford (New Zealand) has been a medium, teacher, and lecturer for the past twenty-five years. She first became aware of her spiritual gifts at an early age. When she was 18, Elma Farmer (an internationally-known medium) invited Jenny to join a development circle, and Maureen Chapman, another well-known medium, also helped her develop her gifts.

Crawford has been offering private psychic readings to thousands of clients worldwide for many years. In addition, she has also been involved in platform work, and finds it very rewarding to reach a large group with clairvoyant messages from the spirit world. Her seminars, which cover all aspects of psychic and spiritual teachings, are based on healing and teaching people to raise their energy levels to "share the light and link together."

Self-described as a "middle woman" between those in the spirit world and those still living on earth, Crawford is dedicated to educating people about death not being the end of our existence.

Jenny Crawford and her husband Rob spend half the year in New Zealand and the other half in the western United States doing promotional book tours. She is also the author/narrator of several meditation tapes and the author of Through the Eyes of Spirit.
