Place Standard 2.0 with a Climate Lens - Pilot Facilitators

Facilitator Questionnaire

Thank you for your support delivering today's session. Having facilitated the event, we would like to get your feedback on the draft Place Standard with a Climate Lens tool and guidance, to identify any changes that you think will improve the final version.

Please note that the key features of the Place Standard Tool are not able to be changed. The 'Climate Lens' takes the form of additional guidance to support places to consider climate change while using the main Place Standard Tool. However, like the tool itself, we want the climate lens guidance to be accessible and easy to understand for communities across Scotland, so we would appreciate any feedback that can help us to achieve this aim.

Facilitators will also be invited to give feedback in person. Any questions can be sent to Cat in the project team at cat@sniffer.org.uk

Thank you for sharing your views with us

Yes, in all assessments because climate change is an issue for all places

Only sometimes / optional

I'm not sure

Can you explain your answer choice?
