6. Climate Change, Mitigation and Adaptation Study 2025
Local authorities have a legal duty to help meet the requirements of the Climate Change Act 2008. One way to achieve this is to ensure that local plans include policies designed to mitigate and adapt to a changing climate. Reigate & Banstead has undertaken this study to understand what is happening locally, how the changing climate could affect the borough in the future and identify how the new local plan could support appropriate mitigation and adaptation policies.
