Creative Placemaking & Urban Design Officer - Planning & Sustainable Growth at Angus Council
Really productive week with so much progressive work going on within Angus Council teams collaborating with our key partners to make a difference. To end this working week, I've just been notified that I've passed the Carbon Literacy Test and received a certificate! #Sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's a commitment to our children and future generations, ensuring they inherit a planet where they can thrive in a healthy, clean, and sustainable environment. It's everyone's birthright to ‘Enjoy the Planet’ and responsibility to ‘Nurture the Nature’. As an architect, urbanist, and place maker, I believe in the power of #design, #CreativeThinking and #collaboration to create vibrant, resilient #PlacesForPeople. The Place Framework tool has been instrumental in guiding our work Jonathan Clarkson BDes(hons) PG DIP Urban Design FRSA Antony McGuinness, Jill Paterson, allowing us to engage communities and shape sustainable futures together. I'm incredibly grateful to our Climate Change and Sustainability team, led by Kelly Ann and Chloe, for taking our whole team from Planning, Environment and Climate - Vibrant Communities and Sustainable Growth services through this essential climate literacy learning process. Their dedication and knowledge have empowered us to make a positive impact. We all have a role to play in this vital sustainability challenge. But first, we need to be more #carbonliterate - urgently, as recent evidence shows. Let's make this a collective effort, not just in #Angus, but everywhere. Thanks to the whole team for sharing this vital knowledge. #KnowledgeIsPower #ClimateChange #CarbonLiteracy #CoLearning #Sustainability #UrbanDesign #Placemaking #VibrantCommunities

As my fellowship with the U.S. Green Building Council and LEED for Cities team comes to an end, I am happy to share the Equity Guide I have been working on throughout the year. This document is primarily intended for local governments engaging with the unique equity concerns in their jurisdiction in combination with their fight against climate change. For local governments involved in LEED for Cities certification, this guide can be used as a tool alongside the process of certification and post-certification action/implementation. For those not yet involved with LEED for Cities, this guide can be used as a framework for municipal equitable climate action plans. Centering equity in sustainability sets the standard that every action and goal can and should consider equitable outcomes. This standard results in a just distribution of resources to protect all communities from climate-related hazards. Equity takes many forms locally, this guide is a starting point for these explorations. Thanks to Hilari Varnadore, CC-P, Samuel Leu, Larissa McFall, Assoc. AIA, NOMA, LEED Green Associate, and Selina Holmes for their help along the way. U.S. Green Building Council U.S. Green Building Council - U.S. Market Insights

Investing in a waterfront house is a decision deeply intertwined with acknowledging the current and future realities. In a world where the ocean levels are rising, it's not just about property, but understanding the broader environmental shifts.

As climate change risks escalate, it's crucial for cities to enhance their resilience and address systemic inequities. USGBC has developed the Equity Guide to complement the LEED v4.1 for Cities and Communities: Existing Cities rating system. This innovative tool applies an equity lens to each credit within the rating system, offering case studies, guiding context, and questions to help local governments integrate equity more effectively into their sustainability planning. By centering equity in sustainability efforts, we can ensure that every action and goal considers equitable outcomes, achieving a just distribution of resources to protect all communities from climate-related hazards. You can explore how the Equity Guide can support your city in advancing climate action rooted in equity. Let's work together to create more resilient, equitable, and sustainable cities for all! 🌍 https://bit.ly/467pu5r #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Equity #USGBC #LEED #Cities #Communities #ClimateChange #Resilience

Check out this great article about government budgeting with a climate focus! #climateaction #climatebudgets
“What are the additional benefits that come from coordinating across and above city silos in this way? And are city cultures and environments changing as a result? Yes, it turns out the city culture is changing for the better. When you have to run every new proposal through the climate office, as the Oslo kommune requires, there are a host of other benefits that stem from that reorganisation and streamlined workflow. Let’s take a look at a few.” Way to lead, Audun Garberg and co! Check out how our Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance members are leading below.

"Climate action brings with it so many socioeconomic and health co-benefits, which then touch and impact every aspect of city programming, it sets up a virtuous cycle of positive reinforcement" Whether we place the focus on climate, health, or economics - what one does for our communities, they all do. "Climate action" allows us all to approach our work in a way where environment, economy, and equity work in synergy to create what's truly sustainable for our community.

“Indirect emissions are as essential to the climate budgeting process as direct emissions because of their sizable carbon footprint. The built environment alone, for example, generates 40% of annual global CO2 emissions. Capturing that in the budgeting process, then, is essential” Check this article by my colleague Michael Shank, Ph.D. explaining how Oslo is budgeting for emissions reductions across departments and the organisational, socio-economic and health co-benefits.
