JAW Sustainability can produce the Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions chapter for Environmental Statements. We measure the development's emissions across its whole life, assess how vulnerable it is to future climate impacts such as overheating and flooding, and recommend proportionate mitigation and adaptation measures, following current IEMA guidance. Under the EIA Regulations, this chapter is needed when scoping shows that climate effects are likely to be significant. This is typically the case for large or energy-intensive schemes, developments involving significant land-use change, or sites particularly exposed to climate risks, and it is confirmed in the local planning authority's scoping opinion.
