The new law (passed by the Danish parliament on 29 May 2012) allows municipalities to ban construction in certain areas solely due to climate change adaptation reasons. Woik is underway by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) on the development of the next edition of the Building Code to make new buildings in Ontario resilient to climate change impacts and to enhance their ability to conserve water and energy. The plan comprises national actions (regulations, information-based instruments) shared across levels of government, as well as local projects. This put in place a framework that will allow the spatial plans of the Lander and regions to be gradually supplemented with the aspect of provision for the spatial requirements of climate adaptation during their redrafting process.
