Amendment No. 5 seeks to amend the definition of "climate change adaptation and mitigation" to include a reference to mitigation in the definition text. The new definition would provide that it means the taking of measures to manage and mitigate the impact of climate change. I understand the intent of the proposed amendment but would like to consider it further to ensure that it aligns with other provisions of the Bill. While I cannot accept the amendment now, I may bring forward a similar amendment on Report Stage on this matter. I agree it is important but I cannot accept the amendment as proposed.
