Embedding climate challenges in risk management
Ensuring there’s enough water in the moat may not be a common challenge for those preparing for changing climate conditions.
Local councils help shape a resilient NSW
Information about the 2022 Local Government Climate Change Action Survey
Climate adaptation conference 2023
The Climate Adaptation Conference is Australia's foremost gathering dedicated to exploring climate vulnerability, impacts, and adaptation.
Making our regions more resilient
When a local risk research firm began work on the ‘Blueprint for a Resilient South-East NSW’ project, they turned to NARCliM to get the data they needed to develop a comprehensive picture of regional climate risk.
Telling a high-impact story of climate change data
Monash University's Climate Change Communication Research Hub applied NARCliM regional climate projections to visualise the projected increase in average summer temperatures across Australia's local government areas.
Building transport resilience across NSW
Climate change creates a significant risk to infrastructure, people, and the economy. The impacts from climate change, including damaging weather events, has already cost the state an estimated $3.6 billion per year.
Developing resilient cities based on locally relevant data
In 2018, the Resilient Sydney Strategy was released to provide a pathway for resilience across the metropolitan area, including Penrith. It provides a framework for Penrith City Council to develop its own localised action plan, using local information.
Securing water for Sydney’s future
The Greater Sydney Water Strategy sets a long-term vision and direction to ensure resilient and sustainable water services for the people of Greater Sydney. NARCliM climate projections have been essential to obtaining a detailed understanding of both water supply and demand under future climate conditions.
Researching future climate change health impacts
Dr Ivan Hanigan leads a team of researchers investigating the impact of climate change on health in Australia using NARCliM regional climate projections. Their work looks at the future heat island effect in Australian cities, including the likely number of deaths caused by future heatwaves in Sydney.
Assessing climate impacts on our future economy
The 2021-22 NSW Intergenerational Report included an assessment of key climate risks for the first time. This required NSW Treasury to develop modelling on climate risks, with the support of climate scientists, and to then translate the information into economic implications.
