Description

Climate change will have major implications for many proposed projects that require environmental assessments (EAs). This will include the effects of climate change both on the project and on the environmental impacts of the project. The Best Practices described in this report state how the effects of climate change can and should be addressed in EAs, to ensure that the public and decision-makers are provided the information needed to understand those implications and how to address them during project planning.
