The National Climate Resilience and Adaptation Strategy (the Strategy) positions Australia to better anticipate, manage and adapt to climate change. The Strategy is designed to support governments, communities and businesses to better adapt, recognising that adaptation is a shared responsibility that requires sustained and ongoing action. The Strategy operates across four domains — natural, built, social and economic — to drive forward adaptation. It recognises that effective adaptation must be: informed by the best available science and information; delivered through partnerships and investments; and guided by effective governance and coordination.
The Strategy details three objectives to enable more effective adaptation across Australia:
- Drive investment and action through collaboration;
- Improve climate information and services; and
- Assess progress and improve over time.
