Released on October 29, 2021, the National Climate Resilience and Adaptation Strategy aims to prepare Australia for the challenges posed by climate change. It outlines the Australian Government’s commitment to supporting efforts across all sectors to anticipate, manage, and adapt to the impacts of a changing climate.
Objectives:
- Drive Investment and Action Through Collaboration: Facilitate collaboration among governments, businesses, and communities to enhance resilience and adaptability. This includes providing leadership, coordination, and partnerships to spur action and investment.
- Improve Climate Information and Services: Enhance access to climate information and services to enable better prediction, management, and adaptation to climate change. This involves delivering coordinated climate information, supporting climate science, and ensuring broader accessibility of climate-related data.
- Assess Progress and Improve Over Time: Regularly evaluate national climate impacts, adaptation progress, and areas for improvement. This includes delivering national assessments, independent evaluations, and continuous improvement mechanisms.
- Adaptation Across Domains: The strategy addresses adaptation across four domains—natural, built, social, and economic—to effectively respond to climate challenges. By focusing on these domains, it aims to safeguard economic prosperity, environmental health, and community well-being.
Engagement: The Strategy was developed through extensive engagement with governments, industry stakeholders, academia, and community groups. Workshops, consultations, and feedback mechanisms involving over 300 participants helped shape the Strategy, ensuring broad representation and inclusivity.
