The report, the organisation of which is decided by the region, department or local authority, includes the following elements:
1° The fundamental guidelines provided for in the first paragraph of Article L. 4433-7. These fundamental guidelines may, where appropriate, correspond to the implementation of the strategic vision that the region, department or local authority has for the sustainable development of its territory over a longer timeframe than that of the regional development plan;
2° The spatial planning principles that result from the fundamental guidelines, the locations, preferential locations, objectives and principles provided for in the areas of competence of the plan by the second to fourth paragraphs of Article L. 4433-7 as well as the rules which contribute to implementing and achieving them;
3° The individualised chapters provided for in articles L. 4433-7-1 to L. 4433-7-4. Under this heading:
a) The individualised chapter provided for in article L. 4433-7-1 applies articles R. 371-16 to R. 371-21 of the Environment Code. The system for monitoring and evaluating the regional development plan includes, in particular, indicators relating to the application of the guidelines and rules designed to preserve and restore ecological continuity;
b) The individualised chapter provided for in Article L. 4433-7-3 is based on an inventory of atmospheric pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions, an energy balance, an assessment of energy, renewable and recovery potential, an inventory of all heating networks, an assessment of possible improvements in energy efficiency, a study of the territory’s vulnerability to climate change and an assessment of air quality and its effects on public health and the environment carried out at territorial level and taking into account economic and social aspects. In terms of mitigating climate change, it sets targets at regional level for 2030 and 2050 for reducing energy consumption, preserving and increasing the absorption of carbon by soils and natural environments, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It defines, in terms of preventing and reducing atmospheric pollution, for the territory, targets for reducing emissions of atmospheric pollutants that are at least as demanding as those provided for at national level in application of article L. 222-9 of the Environment Code.
