Conversations about climate change adaptation
The National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility's (NCCARF) policy guidance briefs seek to deliver evidence-based guidance to decision makers in key areas of climate change knowledge. Since 2008, NCCARF has worked with adaptation practitioners and researchers to develop and communicate the knowledge needed to successfully adapt Australia to climate variability, risk and change. Now, NCCARF has brought together this knowledge to address the needs of decision makers at all levels of government and in the private sector. Twelve policy guidance briefs will be delivered in 2012 – 13, and at this launch we will deliver the first five, on:
- decision-making tools for effective adaptation;
- managing coastal communities and ecosystems;
- supporting local governments;
- adapting agriculture; and,
- managing water resources under climate change.
