Description: This survey and resultant discussion paper was created as a result of a New Brunswick Environmental Trust Fund sponsored initiative to consult with the New Brunswick planning community and obtain their opinions and recommendations regarding the state of sustainability within the New Brunswick planning process. This consultation process had two objectives: first, to identify obstacles in the planning and development of environmentally, economically and socially sustainable communities (including climate change adaptation strategies) and second, to identify instances where the existing planning framework enables the successful introduction of more sustainable practices. In total, 59 land use professionals and environmental researchers and legal experts within the New Brunswick planning community were given the opportunity to present their views and experiences. Above all, the central goal of this project was to engage in a frank discussion with planning professionals and other key stakeholders to identify and explain the key barriers and policy gaps in implementing effective planning strategies in the face of the significant environmental challenges of the twenty-first century.
