We have released National Climate Scenario Guidance to help you plan for future climate risk.
Our climate will continue to change as the world warms. This creates greater risks for Australian businesses, governments, communities and households.
Understanding these growing risks is essential for effective planning.
Climate scenario analysis helps test the resilience of business models and strategies in a changing climate. It can indicate how evolving climate conditions, policies and technologies could affect organisations.
This new guidance provides an overview of good practice climate scenario analysis. It can help organisations at any maturity level assess physical climate risks. It:
- explains foundational concepts
- recommends structured and practical approaches
- helps your organisation choose the right climate models and datasets.
We consulted on a draft version of the guidance to assess its usefulness and usability. We received feedback from:
- local governments
- planners
- engineers
- businesses
- service providers.
