I concur but I would say that it is not a small change. It is a change of factual accuracy in the sense that if we are defining "climate change adaptation and mitigation" only as measures to manage the impact of climate change, we are actually ignoring the crucial and more important requirement to mitigate the impact. It is actually quite important because otherwise we are not actually defining "adaptation and mitigation" correctly at all. The definitions in the Bill, as we know, are crucial so hopefully this is one amendment that the Minister of State can support.
