APA Climate Change Policy Guide

The policies and strategies contained within the guide are organized by the APA's six Sustainability Comprehensive Plan Standards categories which include: the Livable Built Environment, Harmony with Nature, Resilient Economy, Interwoven Equity, Healthy Communities, and Responsible Regionalism. There is also a separate category focused on needed federal and state policies. Each of the policy areas includes an introductory paragraph of the climate related topic, followed by a general policy statement, one or more supportive specific policy statements, and suggested strategies to achieve the policy outcome.
