“An integrated step toward economic, social and environmental wellbeing in the face of long-term climate change”
The following stakeholders will be actively involved in the project:
- SA Murray-Darling Basin Natural Resources Management Board
- Regional Development Australia (Murraylands and Riverland)
- Local Government Association
- Murray & Mallee Zone Emergency Management Committee
- University of Adelaide
- Department for Environment & Natural Resources
The stakeholders will contribute to the development of a vulnerability assessment of the economic, social and environmental assets for the region that:
- Regionalizes climate data and risk at a finer scale
- Develops a agreed reference point for regional organisations
- Considers mitigation actions
- Looks at the capacity from within a system to adapt to the impacts
- Develops adaption options and prioritises them
- Considers risk transference where actions may affect others adversely
- Merges project activities for long term sustainability
The process is consistent with the Draft Climate Change Adaptation Framework for South Australia
The Phase 1 report was completed in November 2012. Please follow the link to access the report - Gap Identification Report
