Planning for Climate Change Project
The Planning for Climate Change Project ensured the development of the Swan Region Strategy for Natural Resource Management incorporated latest climate change knowledge.
The project was implemented from 2013 – 2016 and brought together technical experts and stakeholders to develop information and maps to help people plan for climate change in the region. The Australian Government provided funding for the project as part of the Regional Natural Resource Management Planning for Climate Change Fund.
Stakeholders, technical knowledge holders, and experts from across the region identified and prioritised risks posed by climate change through a series of several workshops. During the process, stakeholders identified the most severe risks and developed adaption responses to them. Multi Criteria Analysis Shell for Spatial Decision Support (MCAS-S) produced findings during the workshops and aided in answering critical climate change questions. MCAS-S produced a series of maps to inform adaptation responses.
Perth NRM was supported by the Australian Government and funded by the Regional Natural Resource Management Planning for Climate Change Fund.
