Answer:

In order to achieve full compliance with the new version of the standard, there must be some revisions practically in every segment of the EMS. Some changes are major, some minor but they all need to be implemented.

The biggest addition compared to the previous version of the standard is determining context of the organization, which requires organization to determine internal and external issues related to the EMS. For more information, see: Determining the context of the organization in ISO 14001 https://advisera.com/14001academy/blog/2015/09/07/determining-the-context-of-the-organization-in-iso-14001/
