The development of this Plan was led by the following drafting team:

• Mr Tony Pearce (Emergency Management Australia) (Chair)
• Professor John Handmer (RMIT)
• Dr John Higgins (DCCEE)
• Associate Professor David King (James Cook University)
• Professor Jan McDonald (NCCARF)
• Mr Frank Pagano (Emergency Management Queensland)
• Dr John Schneider (Geoscience Australia)
• Dr Penny Whetton (CSIRO)

Each Research Plan is accompanied by an Implementation Plan, which looks at the landscape of research in Australia for the sector, in terms of both the purchasers and the providers. If you would like any further information on this Plan, please contact Dr Daniel Stock on d.stock@griffith.edu.au

In April 2010, the Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency has announced, under the Australian Adaptation Research Grants Program, funding over $ 911,218 for six research projects.

Alongside the National Adaptation Research Plan, NCCARF has established an Adaptation Research Network for Emergency Management. Together, these initiatives will address climate change adaptation needs in the arena of disaster management and emergency services.
