The Law addresses the impacts of climate change on three key levels:&nbsp;
1. Protection of water, forests, and the natural environment.&nbsp;
2. Creation of sustainable and resilient urban areas and related spatial and urban planning issues.&nbsp;
3. Promotion and modernisation of renewable energy sources, including services to reduce energy costs for vulnerable households, and the support of local self-government organisations for sanitary improvements and municipal water supply and sewerage services through the establishment of appropriate programs.
To achieve these objectives, the Law outlines the following provisions:
a) Establishment of a legal entity to protect and manage water resources.&nbsp;
b) Regulation of water and sewerage companies, as well as updates to the maintenance and operation contracts for the external water supply system in the greater area of the capital.&nbsp;
c) Create hybrid cooperative schemes and regulate public forest management, protection, and exploitation.&nbsp;
d) Institutionalization of urban policies and urban resilience plans.&nbsp;
e) Updating the operating framework of the Natural Environment and Climate Change Organization.&nbsp;
f) Modernisation of the licensing process for renewable energy sources and offshore wind farm projects.&nbsp;
g) Provision of subsidies for electricity consumption.
