Growing with your users. Demand driven tools to support adaptation.

Dave Rissik (NCCARF) Bob Webb (ANU)

Picture from: The Walking Dead

“The Road to Effective Adaptation”

No funding for maintenance and update No training Tool doesn’t address user needs 15th time that tool has been developed (to the same stage!!) Tool published – little appetite for outreach by developers Lack of capacity of users User consultation after tool developed

Its not all bad: we have learned a lot

The same underlying cyclical and iterative ‘risk

management’ (or equivalent) adaptation process underpins nearly all adaptation planning, decision support and assurance products

common leading practices are emerging such as

decision-centred assessments, flexible pathways and uncertainty management, stakeholder engagement approaches

There are also common climate scenario/projections and

risk/hazard mapping data sets

Too much effort goes into rediscovering and reinventing

these for each product; leaving little resource to address the genuine differentiated needs

Strategic Planning Social, Economic and Environmental Plans Land Use Planning Development Decisions Asset Management Decisions Natural Hazard Planning and Decisions Infrastructure/ Services Planning and Decisions Climate Change Risk and Vulnerability Assessment ; Adaptation Planning

We know more about users needs. Business processes and adaptation decision entry points:

NRM groups involved in planning for long

periods.

A range of approaches with different levels of

sophistication.

Generally are based around adaptive

management, risk frameworks, resilience frameworks.

Many of the actions are appropriate for climate
change. BUT there is a need for assessing plans

and approaches with a climate adaptation lens.

Approach that can enable NRM groups to

assess “where they are” in climate adaptation planning.

Enable self assessment, reflection and

improvement.

Take an enabling approach. Cannot solve all

issues immediately and in one guide. Assist groups to start the (long) journey.

Approach

Outlines 4 challenges associated with adaptation

planning

Advice on uncertainty (types and how do we deal with

it)

A generic framework consistent with most/all planning

frameworks used by NRM

Key questions associated with each component of the

framework.

Guidance about each question, links to case studies,

useful material to support NRMs.

Web delivery and Guide.
