Understanding and planning for future climate change requires access to trusted information and tools. But climate projections and their associated products are complex. We’ve developed guidance to help users understand the context and appropriate use of the data produced by the NARCliM project.

NARCliM case studies

Explore this series of case studies highlighting the journey towards effectively applying NARCliM data for a range of sectors and climate adaptation planning and research activities.

NARCliM infographics

To increase understanding and the reach of NARCliM research and development, a series of infographics were developed covering core topics including:  

NARCliM2.0 regional climate change snapshots

The NSW Government's regional climate change snapshots are concise summaries of the latest climate projections for NSW, the ACT, and 10 NSW planning regions. The 2025 release presents projections for 3 emissions scenarios.

Previous NARCliM products

NARCliM is an iterative project, releasing new generations of regional climate data and outputs as the science advances and new information becomes available. Some NARCliM informed products, including the information on the AdaptNSW website, are updated to reflect the most recent information including the latest generation of NARCliM data and downstream products such as new variables and emissions scenarios.

You can access a selection of previous NARCliM products archived below. 

2024 NARCliM2.0 regional climate change snapshots

Released in 2024, these regional climate change snapshots were created from NARCliM2.0 data for 2 emissions scenarios and included sea level rise information from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report (2021). In 2025, the release of a third emissions scenario prompted an update to the snapshots. To access the latest version, visit the My region page. 

2014 NARCliM1.0 regional climate change snapshots

Developed in 2014, these regional climate change snapshots were created from the first generation of NARCliM data (NARCliM1.0). These snapshots were published on the AdaptNSW website until 2024, when they were replaced by updated snapshots based on NARCliM2.0. For the most recent snapshots, visit the My region page.
