It identifies the settlements vulnerable to the effects of climate change such as rising waters. In addition, the Master Plan features innovative ideas or best practices that introduces low carbon footprint and carbon neutral.  

             The ongoing construction of town Hall Building is the best example of a low carbon footprint and adaptable to climate change.
