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.
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.
Adapting infrastructure to extreme heat
With more hot days on the horizon Albury City Council is protecting internet and phone services from extreme heat with an innovative solution.
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.
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.
Filling the tanks: Nambucca Valley Council boosting rural resilience
The large blue box along Park Street in Bowraville could be a lifeline for rural residents in the Nambucca Valley Shire when the next emergency strikes.
Building climate change into routine planning for Orange
NSW councils are building climate risk into their business-as-usual planning and policies for the first time, thanks to products developed using NARCliM’s locally relevant climate modelled data.
Providing critical evidence for regional water planning
As one of the driest countries on Earth, water planning is critical in Australia. Draft regional water strategies are being developed for NSW using NARCliM’s regional climate projections.
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.
