DM2 Climate Change – Mitigation and Adaptation

  1. Minerals and waste development will be supported that: a. contributes towards mitigating the causes of climate change by:
    • Being located and designed to encourage the sustainable use of resources; and
    • Helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and/or
    • Facilitating low carbon technologies; and b. reduces vulnerability and provides resilience to the impacts of climate change through location and design and the incorporation of adaptation measures.
  2. Minerals and waste development proposals will be supported by a Climate Change Assessment which demonstrates how these opportunities have been considered, and where possible, incorporated.
