MD-WERP Theme: Climate Adaptation
MD-WERP Theme 1 Project: Showcasing Adaptability
Research Lead: CSIRO and Deakin University
Climate change projections indicate that the Basin will be hotter, with lower average annual rainfall and reduced runoff but an increased number of extreme events. The combination of these impacts means that adaptations are likely to be required to maintain the resilience of the communities and environment.
This report reviewed the adaptation options to mitigate climate change impacts on basin outcomes being considered by institutions and develop a system to classify these options.
