Purpose and objectives Overall purpose: This practical session with a role play aims to help participants to understand and practice the best processes to be undertaken to ensure greater safety through cooperation between land-use planners, industrial safety experts and operators, within and across countries Key objectives: 4
Meet and make connections with experts in land-use planning and industrial safety from other UNECE countries. The smaller group size provides a greater opportunity for participants to get involved and learn. Use and interpret maps and spatial plans to establish the potential issues and ideas for industrial accident prevention and management. Develop a stronger understanding and empathy with the other stakeholders involved and their complex interplay. Understand and practice the best processes to ensure greater safety through cooperation between planners, industrial safety experts and operators, within and across countries. Employ problem solving and decision-making strategies for transboundary planning and industrial safety issues. Gain an understanding of the key steps and approaches outlined in the UNECE Guidance on Land-Use Planning, the Siting of Hazardous Activities, and related Safety Aspects . Practice justifying (in planning and industrial safety terms) why the group made their decisions on the assigned development proposal, and how these decisions align with the motivations and values of the different stakeholders. 5
Key challenges Extract and utilize the knowledge gained throughout the seminar and apply it in this session. Record everything you learn Think creatively throughout the about innovative session, and think and fair solutions about what key (for a range of points you can relay stakeholders) to to your colleagues in complex situations. your home countries 6
The scenario: Both towns contain existing hazardous Make decisions on industrial facilities that Two fictitious port recent proposals for fall within the scope of towns that are directly new developments, to the UNECE Convention across the border be sited near existing on the Transboundary hazardous facilities Effects of Industrial Accidents 7
Proposals for new development in Fairland (in Country A): 2. a renewable energy facility (incl. wind 1. turbines and solar panels on the roofs of A cruise terminal industrial buildings) 8
Proposals for new development in Atlantis (in Country B): 1. conversion of a former industrial b) food festivals / building into an a) music concerts markets/ c) other event space for one-off events the following uses: 2. development of a child-care nursery 9

Supporting material / handouts Each participants should have a copy of: • The session programme • Summary of the scenario • Spatial plans • Description of the existing hazardous facilities and the new development proposals • List of stakeholders • 'Guiding questions' for each participant to consider • A copy of the UNECE Guidance on Land-Use Planning, the Siting of Hazardous Activities, and related Safety Aspects 18
Organizational aspects • Assignment of groups / Assistant Step 1 Moderators of the • Assignment programme: of stakeholders • Question time 19
Organizational aspects • Participant introductions • Nominate the Step 2 note-taker (who will also take part of the as a stakeholder) programme: • The Mayor – role of negotiator and rapporteur at the very end 20
Organizational aspects • Assign each group with a development proposal Step 3 • Split the group into two of the • Voice the stakeholder programme: motivations the Role Play • Debate and negotiate on the selected proposal • Record decisions 21
Proposals to focus on: • Proposal 1 = Cruise terminal (country A) • Proposal 2 = Day care nursery (country B) • Proposal 3 = Renewable energy (country A) • Proposal 4 = Conversion of warehouse into event space (country B) 22
Organizational aspects • The Mayors (as the rapporteurs) present the key outcomes from their group’s Role Play exercise – 5 minutes Step 4 maximum! • Similar to a town meeting, the of the Mayor should present the group’s key observations and programme: the decisions, including the views Town Meeting of different stakeholders and (Plenary session) the transboundary cooperation aspects. • Moderator’s summary : present the key outcomes and conclusions from Session 5. 23
To conclude • Use this session to meet, connect and practice • Learn, share and exchange • Search the dialogue, discuss, interpret, motivate and conclude • Understand and recognize the complexity • Benefit from each ‘take away’ Good luck and have fun! 24
