This comment is on section 2.9 Energy Conservation, Air Quality and Climate Change.
I suggest the use for stronger wording for this section, it currently reads "planning authorities shall plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for the impacts of a changing climate".
Do due to the urgency of the climate change crisis and Ontario's goal to achieve a greenhouse gas reduction by 80 per cent below 1990 levels by 2050 it would be pertinent to require planning authorities to have reduce the impacts of climate change. It is essential that all new plans be reviewed for and required to have climate change mitigation and adaption measures in place. If we do not start requiring actual action against climate change we will never achieve the required reduction.
