The Climate Adaptation Program (CAP) aims to capture relevant risk /opportunity related data based on predicted climate variables that will support Local Government in South Australia to develop individual/regional based climate adaptation modeling and adaptation plans. Further, the framework of the CAP has enabled the development of a sector profile relevant to climate change adaptation risks and opportunities that are recognised as a priority for South Australia.
This interim report explores the initial findings of the CAP's first stage. The report starts to provide a practical catalogue of climate-related risks at both local and state-wide levels and provides a foundation to support leadership, governance, policy making and decisions.
