Responding to the increasing pressures to meet local agenda targets, Place on Earth is devised to provide current information to support
decision and policy makers. Local government officers and NGO’s working in climate change, governance, urban development, education,
employment, diversity and migration will be vital partners in the development of each city Place on Earth project.

The Place on Earth team has worked for many years with municipalities, cities and governments including the UN and understands how to
approach the global system and make best use of its services to provide effective solutions for and with our partners wherever they are located in the world.

Local Area Agreements, Sustainable Community Strategies, Neighbourhood Renewal Strategies, Development Plans, Environmental Strategies, Local Development Frameworks, Community Cohesion Strategies and Climate Change Strategies can all benefit from the outcomes of Place on Earth projects.

The main benefits for cities working with Place on Earth include:

• engaging with hard to reach / hard to hear communities
• gaining valuable qualitative information from the key future  constituents to inform local, regional and national policy and strategy - to
complement and elaborate upon existing data captured through traditional consultations
• supporting social cohesion
• contributing to the education and continuing professional development of young people and local authority officers
• shared knowledge base extending the value of the research beyond the individual local authorities involved
• opportunities for local young people to represent their Place on Earth projects within national and international events
• opportunities for project participants to gain recognition on an international stage through direct links to international Place on Earth
partners, UN Habitat and UN decision makers.
