"Australia’s climate is changing. To avoid catastrophic disruptions from
successive supercharged disasters, society must adapt. But change takes time
and it’s not always clear how much progress we’re making.
We wanted to find out what Australia’s governments, industries and local groups
are doing to adapt to climate change. Our work culminated in the Australian
Adaptation Database, which captures more than 700 initiatives so far.
Standout examples from this first national stocktake include Ramblers Reef in
Victoria – an artificial reef of rocks and shells 500 metres offshore that has
helped reduce coastal erosion. In Adelaide, urban cooling and greening projects
are transforming the city and suburbs across 17 councils .
Our project shows climate adaptation is happening in Australia, but there’s
plenty of room for improvement. The more society can do now to prepare for
change, the better off we’ll be in the long run."
