Abstract Well-designed urban planning policy can mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to anticipated climate change impacts. However, there has been limited analysis of the extent to which urban planning policy documents addresses climate change adaptation and or mitigation. There is a need to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100, and to be well adapted to this change (in line with the Paris Agreement). Achieving this goal will assist in limiting damage and loss to humans and the natural environment. This paper presents a detailed qualitative and quantitative evaluation of urban planning documents (policy, regulation and law) in the state of Victoria, Australia, and the degree to which climate change mitigation and adaptation (with a focus on sea level rise) are addressed and integrated. Two scales of government (state and local) were analysed across three policy disciplines (urban planning, climate change and flood management). The evaluation framework contributes to the few tools for analyzing legislation, regulation and strategic policies for climate change adequacy. The findings reveal limited climate change adaptation and mitigation actions in urban planning documents. Additionally, there is limited integration of adaptation and mitigation actions. Important opportunities for better alignment of policies across disciplines and government levels in line Paris Agreement goals are identified, to ensure implementation in decisions made about land use and development. The analysis finds that urban planning policy must do more to include and integrate climate change adaptation and mitigation actions.

城市规划政策必须更多地整合气候变化适应和减缓行动

摘要 精心设计的城市规划政策可以减少温室气体排放并适应预期的气候变化影响。然而，对城市规划政策文件在多大程度上解决气候变化适应和/或减缓问题的分析有限。需要迅速减少温室气体排放，到 2100 年将升温限制在比工业化前水平高 1.5°C 的范围内，并很好地适应这种变化（符合《巴黎协定》）。实现这一目标将有助于限制对人类和自然环境的破坏和损失。本文对澳大利亚维多利亚州的城市规划文件（政策、法规和法律）进行了详细的定性和定量评估，气候变化减缓和适应（重点是海平面上升）的处理和整合程度。跨三个政策学科（城市规划、气候变化和洪水管理）分析了两种规模的政府（州和地方）。评估框架有助于分析气候变化充分性的立法、法规和战略政策的少数工具。调查结果揭示了城市规划文件中有限的气候变化适应和缓解行动。此外，适应和缓解行动的整合有限。确定了根据《巴黎协定》目标更好地协调跨学科和政府级别政策的重要机会，以确保在有关土地使用和开发的决策中得到实施。
