Proactively implement strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change in our region, including on our agricultural and tourism industries, communities and coastal ecosystems like littoral rainforest.
Why it is important?
We have access to a range of existing resources and information to help plan and implement climate adaptation and mitigation strategies. Climate change will have impacts in our local landscape, so it's important we work together to improve our resilience and maintain the values we all love.
Examples of Local Action
Ensure there is reliable and accessible information (eg. included in Wet Tropics Plan for People and Country) to support planning and action eg. Planning Institute of Australia ’10 fix strategies’, Queensland Government Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy.
