The sus- tainable equilibrium elements of environment, economy, and society are all at risk from climate change impacts. Global warming is creating ecosystem tecton- ic shifts, disrupting energy and resource economies, and spawning authoritar- ian geopolitics. Even as our glaciers are disappearing, the response to climate change is moving at a glacial pace. Previously moderate projections for future temperature are now the predicted levels. If mitigation measures are not imple- mented, severe adaptation measure will be. What does this mean for city and regional planning? We must incorporate three approaches to balance long-term, short-term, and aspirational planning: sustainable development, urban resilien- cy, and regenerative design. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Intergenerational equity provides a foundation for urbanism that requires envi- ronmental stewardship, economic development, and social equity. Sustainable development is at the heart of planning. ISOCARP represented professional plan- ning at the Habitat III conference, and the Society is a leader in advocating and implementing the global, Sustainable Development Goals. These goals include Climate Action, and ISOCARP is a founding member of the UN-Habitat Planners for Climate Action. 2 ISOCARP REVIEW 14 ↑↑ TOC ISOCARP PRESIDENT’S FOREWORD RIC STEPHENS URBAN RESILIENCY The long-range vision of sustainability must be complemented by consideration for contemporary disaster preparedness and risk reduction. Climate change, population growth and displacement, and fiscal instability all contribute to more frequent and severe disasters. To counter these issues, the Society is a member of the Global Alliance for Urban Crises and affiliated with the United Nations In- ternational Strategy for Disaster Reduction.
