Policy and Planning

-
This research examines ways to build adaptive capacity to climate change and compares social networks through a case study of organisations that responded to Queensland’s 2010–11 major floods.
-
This study measured the benefits of protecting and restoring habitat of 504 currently threatened species in Australia accounting for spatial and temporal habitat connectivity under climate change.
-
This report addresses the need for collaborative frameworks for institutional decision making under uncertainty, and economic strategies to allocate risk, when planning to adapt to climate change.
-
This research identified different audiences in Australia and evaluated responses to climate change messages to inform design and targeting of climate change adaptation communication in Australia.
-
This research examined the vulnerability of disadvantaged groups in Australia and explored policy changes to enhance adaptive capacity and decrease negative climate change impacts for these groups.
-
This project focuses on learning from existing cross-border regulatory mechanisms with a view to strengthening and improving cross-border climate change adaptation practices in Australia.
-
This research explored the assets, barriers and limitations of the rental sector to adaptation and the stakeholder-landlord relationship with a focus on the adaptive capacity of low-income renters.
-
This research analysed the costs and benefits of residential adaptation and identified coastal community types to determine if adaptation should take place at the community or individual level.
-
This research examined the underlying factors and processes shaping adaptive capacity of Australian small-to-medium enterprises to climate change and associated sea level rise.
-
This research investigated what legal, institutional and cultural barriers exist to climate change adaptation to sea level rise and examined how these barriers are addressed in local contexts.
