Climate adaptation
Ecosystem-based adaptation through Locally Managed Marine Areas
CSIRO researchers have revisited an ecosystem-based adaptation project in Papua New Guinea ’s Kimbe Bay that’s using Locally Managed Marine Areas to protect near-shore marine ecosystems - and discovered lessons about making future projects more effective.
Pathways to prepare for and manage global change
Radical changes to our environment with climate change means we need to map adaptation pathways now that consider options and prepare us for future decisions.
Identifying opportunities in a changing climate
Planning for climate adaptation means looking at possible solutions to people’s needs rather than focussing on the likely problems.
Tackling climate change and regional security in the Pacific
We need to identify Pacific hotspots where climate change will exacerbate other stresses and act to support these places before a crisis happens.
A new climate adaptation landscape
Editorial: Understanding and managing the emergent risks of climate change requires a new focus for mitigation and adaptation responses.
Safety among the gum trees for Wye River
Our leading bushfire risk expert Justin Leonard has been working with the community and a wider Advisory Panel to develop a set of voluntary guidelines that will help improve the townships resilience to bushfire.
Energy Futures in a Town Like Alice
Today’s energy systems will not be sufficient in 2050, and remote Australian communities are likely to bear the brunt. Scenarios workshops held in Alice Springs are helping design energy solutions for the future.
Intact ecosystems the best buffer against climate change
When talking about solutions to help mitigate and adapt to climate change, we shouldn't forget that intact ecosystems offer some of the best prospects.
Future bushfires will be worse: we need to adapt now
The Christmas Day fires that struck the Victorian town of Wye River are an example of how to get emergency responses right.
