- Describes what makes a climate element consistent, suggests processes for updating SMPs, suggests planning concepts.
- Aims to be a companion to File:WDOC 2023 climate change growth management act.pdf
- identifies storm severity and Sea Level Rise as key issues.
- Suggests that that climate impacts should be addressed outside of the climate section.
- Introductory sections and diagrams do not identify low summer flow and landscape dehydration or ocean acidification as climate change effects.
- Provides a summary of the requirements of HB 1181 (2023) which changes how GMA and SMA are implemented.
Questions
- Does this document provide evaluative questions that help an analyst determine if climate impacts are being considered across a plan, rather than just in the climate section of a plan.
