It provides that the guidance may deal with how reporting authorities should assess the current and predicted impact of climate change, how they should prepare proposals and policies to adapt to climate change, and how they should co-operate with other reporting authorities when adapting to climate change.

287.Subsections (6) and (7) of section 70 set out how to determine what a reporting authority’s “devolved Welsh functions” are – see the notes on section 70 for more detail.
