Climate Change

The NMPF’s climate change policies seek to support management of potential impacts of proposals in two ways. Firstly, the way in which the proposal may affect natural and / or physical features that play a role in mitigation (e.g. carbon sequestration) or adaptation (e.g. flood defence. Secondly the way in which the proposal has considered its own direct and indirect contributions to mitigation (e.g. measures included in the proposal to reduce emissions) and adaptation (e.g. ensuring the proposal is future-proofed in relation to changing operating conditions due to climate change).
