Alongside the National Adaptation Research Plan, NCCARF has established an Adaptation Research Network for Terrestrial Biodiversity, based at James Cook University and co-convened by Professors Steve Williams (JCU) and Lesley Hughes (Macquarie). Together, these initiatives address climate change adaptation needs in the arena of terrestrial biodiversity.
