Planning for Climate Change: A Strategic, Values-based Approach guide is organized around a four step strategic planning approach that incorporates innovative structured decision-making tools with a participatory, local values-based methodology 2 . This guide incorporates a strategic planning approach with the belief that all planning -- spatial/physical, sectoral, environmental, organizational, economic -- is more effective if it is strategic. This is because no matter the type of planning, all of it is ultimately about making the best long-term decision possible. To plan for climate change adaptation using a more strategic approach will not only help communities decide what to do, but also how to do it and when to do it, making decision-making more transparent and objective. Integrating a values-based, participatory approach with strategic planning also helps ensure that community capacity (human resources, time, financial resources, political leadership and governance, etc.), local knowledge and community values are considered when identifying and prioritizing climate actions and integrating them into sectoral and day-to-day planning activities. As a values-based, participatory activity, the climate change planning process is not linear. It is a more organic, iterative process that is designed to let communities revisit steps as new information becomes available, new stakeholders become involved, or other circumstances change. It is also an approach built around integration that seeks to be integrated and coordinated with other urban planning processes, tools and instruments. The planning framework also respects the fact that each city is unique in terms of the planning context (i.e., capacity, governance, leadership, policy, pace of urban growth and urban development levels), the current climate situation (i.e., threats, vulnerability, adaptive capacity, level of GHG emissions), the stage of planning for climate change each community is in (i.e., some cities may be quite advanced, while others may be at “square one”), and that local values will differ with each community. This guide is designed for this range of situations and realities, and allows guide users to “enter” at different stages of the strategic planning process. Here, it is important to note that there are many climate change planning tools and guides available. While none of them are based around the same strategic planning process used in this guide or incorporate its structured decision-making tools and values-based framework, we have highlighted areas where other guides can provide complimentary tools, case studies and other helpful resources. There is a wealth of valuable resources available, many of which are highlighted in Appendices 2, 4 and 5. We encourage users of this guide to review them and incorporate them in their own planning process wherever appropriate. Particularly relevant and useful tools are noted in the Modules themselves. 2 The strategic planning approach has been used for equally challenging planning processes, including local economic development planning, health services delivery, physical land use planning and environmental planning in both the developed and developing world by local governments, state and regional planning agencies, international organizations (including UN-HABITAT) and the voluntary sector. 20 PLANNING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE:

MODULE B: WHAT MATTERS MOST? © EPI 2010 As illustrated, this guide’s planning framework is organized around a four-phase process. Each phase, or module, asks one of the following guiding questions. Answering them requires users to go through a corresponding set of steps. Each of the nine planning steps is then broken down into more detailed tasks.
