I will take the opportunity to thank the Chairman and the secretariat for all the work they are doing. I also want to thank the Minister, the Minister of State and the Department for taking on the very complex process of preparing this Bill.
I am looking forward to the discourse that has already begun. This amendment makes a small change to a definition. Climate change adaptation and mitigation means taking measures to mitigate the impact of climate change. The amendment seeks to add "to mitigate and" manage. It is in the title and so should also be in the meaning.
