Australia: National climate resilience and adaptation strategy 2015
The Australian Government has developed this National Climate Resilience and Adaptation Strategy to articulate how Australia is managing the risks of a variable and changing climate. The Strategy affirms a set of principles to guide effective adaptation practice and resilience building, looks at leading practice nationally, and considers areas for future review, consultation and action.
In 2007, the Council of Australian Governments agreed on a National Climate Change Adaptation Framework. This Framework established priorities for action and a significant evidence base, national climate change science and adaptation research capacity and institutions, and a wide range of resilience-building initiatives. The Framework continues to anchor and guide resilience action by Australian governments.
