Climate Action
A completely new topic — it did not exist as its own block in the current scheme.
Applies to
B
M
TB
STV
What changes
Shore power and water at the dock (marinas), vegetarian/vegan meals, renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable purchasing policy, climate risk assessment and adaptation measures (coastal erosion, extreme events, sea-level rise).
What stays the same
Connects to efficiency practices that used to appear loosely within “Environmental Management”, but as a block it is new.
Why it matters
For the first time the programme requires formal evidence of climate mitigation and adaptation, not just general good environmental practice.
