National climate resilience and adaptation strategy 2021-2025
The National Climate Resilience and Adaptation Strategy positions Australia to better anticipate, manage and adapt to climate change. Even with global action to reduce emissions, the impacts of climate change will continue to increase over the coming decades. Adapting and building resilience to Australia's future climate is vital to its future prosperity.
The strategy is designed to support governments, communities and businesses to better adapt, recognising that adaptation is a shared responsibility that requires sustained and ongoing action. The strategy operates across four domains — natural, built, social and economic — to drive forward adaptation. It recognises that effective adaptation must be: informed by the best available science and information; delivered through partnerships and investments; and guided by effective governance and coordination
