The Place Standard with a Climate Lens has been developed 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 and is designed to support a joined up, collaborative, and participative approach to climate action within a place.
The tool was jointly developed by Sniffer, Sustainable Scotland Network and Architecture & Design Scotland, together with and funded by Public Health Scotland and Scottish Government.
The Climate Lens includes a suite of tools for facilitators and organisers of Place Standard sessions, including:
- extra guidance and questions in the main Place Standard tool guidance
- a climate change prompt document for facilitators
- a glossary of terms
- support videos
- online and in person-tools to help facilitators host effective climate-focussed sessions
