Australia?s National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility (NCCARF) is holding its annual national conference in Melbourne from the 26-28 June, 2012. This year?s conference focuses on the information needed to ensure Australia is adapting well to climate change.
Over three days NCCARF will bring together researchers, practitioners and decision makers to share knowledge and research approaches that inform policy and practice in planning for climate change in Australia.
The 2012 Climate Adaptation in Action Conference will showcase the contribution of adaptation science to planning and policy making across Australia. It will explore how robust adaptation decisions can be made in the face of uncertainty.
Conference Themes
human dimensions of climate change will affect virtually all adaptation decisions and are the focus of much new research;
policies will need to be reviewed and reconsidered as adaptation to climate change challenges long-held policy directions in government and business;
incorporating sound knowledge in early planning stages can reduce the ultimate cost and improve the effectiveness of climate adaptation efforts;
tools enable good but partial knowledge to be used to manage uncertainty, a pervasive issue in assessing climate change impacts and developing adaptation initiatives;
stakeholder involvement will provide insight into knowledge needs, research application and ways to increase research uptake;
adaptation will address both incremental climate change impacts and those requiring transformational adaptation responses.
