Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Clause Samples

The Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation clause establishes obligations for parties to address and manage the impacts of climate change within the scope of their agreement. Typically, this clause requires parties to implement measures that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, or adapt operations to changing environmental conditions, such as using sustainable materials or updating infrastructure to withstand extreme weather. Its core function is to ensure that contractual activities are conducted in an environmentally responsible manner, thereby reducing climate-related risks and promoting long-term sustainability.

Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation. 2.1 Will the proposed Project result in significant10 greenhouse gas emissions or may exacerbate climate change? No 2.2 Would the potential outcomes of the Project be sensitive or vulnerable to potential impacts of climate change? No 2.3 Is the proposed Project likely to directly or indirectly increase social and environmental vulnerability to climate change now or in the future (also known as maladaptive practices)? For example, changes to land use planning may encourage further development of floodplains, potentially increasing the population’s vulnerability to climate change, specifically flooding No 3.1 Would elements of Project construction, operation, or decommissioning pose potential safety risks to local communities? No 3.2 Would the Project pose potential risks to community health and safety due to the transport, storage, and use and/or disposal of hazardous or dangerous materials (e.g. explosives, fuel and other chemicals during construction and operation)? No 3.3 Does the Project involve large-scale infrastructure development (e.g. dams, roads, buildings)? No 3.4 Would failure of structural elements of the Project pose risks to communities? (e.g. collapse of buildings or infrastructure) No 3.5 Would the proposed Project be susceptible to or lead to increased vulnerability to earthquakes, subsidence, landslides, erosion, flooding or extreme climatic conditions? No 3.6 Would the Project result in potential increased health risks (e.g. from water-borne or other vector-borne diseases or communicable infections such as HIV/AIDS)? No 3.7 Does the Project pose potential risks and vulnerabilities related to occupational health and safety due to physical, chemical, biological, and radiological hazards during Project construction, operation, or decommissioning? No 3.8 Does the Project involve support for employment or livelihoods that may fail to comply with national and international labor standards (i.e. principles and standards of ILO fundamental conventions)? No 3.9 Does the Project engage security personnel that may pose a potential risk to health and safety of communities and/or individuals (e.g. due to a lack of adequate training or accountability)? No 10 In regards to CO2, ‘significant emissions’ corresponds generally to more than 25,000 tons per year (from both direct and indirect sources).
