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

Stakeholder consultation workshops were held in April and May 2009 to obtain valuable feedback on the development of the Plan.

Each Research Plan is accompanied by an Implementation Plan, which looks at the landscpe of research in Australia for the sector, in terms of both the purchasers and the providers.

For more information about those workshops, the development of the plan or the Implementation Plan please contact Daniel Stock on d.stock@griffith.edu.au

Alongside the National Adaptation Research Plan, NCCARF has established an Adaptation Research Network for Settlements & Infrastructure. Together, these initiatives will address climate change adaptation needs in the arena of settlements & infrastructure. 

Networks are now established for all eight priority themes within NCCARF. Please follow this link Adaptation Research Network - Settlements and Infrastructure for information about this Network.
