The TCPA has a strong track record in research, policy formulation and political influence on, among other things, climate adaptation and mitigation in the context of spatial planning. This has been informed by a comprehensive body of knowledge supported by both UK research and a series of European-funded projects on adaptation, green infrastructure, human health and sustainable energy.
In 2018, TCPA and the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) came together to produce a guide to help planners, politicians and communities address climate change through the planning system. It provides an overview of policy and legislation which can be used to address climate change at a local level, overcoming the barriers faced by many local authorities in England.

The TCPA has detailed expertise in the local planning system and climate adaptation and mitigation both in the UK and across Europe.
The TCPA delivers all training in an honest style of engagement to highlight the implications of policy context and to help officers understand opportunities to overcome challenges. The TCPA has a strong reputation in local government for impartial and practical resources which can support plan making and development management.
