The references to climate change in the Document are welcomed, particularly those in paragraphs 2.5, 2.11 and 2.12 of the Document. However, the risk from climate change should be embedded and considered elsewhere in the Document, for instance,
* Chapter 3, Objectives, page 34 - insert an additional objective to read, 'Plan positively for the creation, protection, enhancement and management of networks of biodiversity and green infrastructure and will identify opportunities to incorporate adaptation measures that will address risks associated with climate change'.
