Scope and content: Climate change is likely to have significant impacts on Australia (Allen Consulting Group 2005: Pittock 2003: Preston and Jones 2006). The Australian Greenhouse Office asked CSIRO to prepare regional climate change scenarios for use in initial assessment of risks as recommended in the publication: Climate change impacts and risk mangement: a guide for government and business. Specifically, scenarios were needed for 2030 for changes in average annual temperature, rainfall, potential evaporation and sea-level; average daily extremes of temperature, rainfall, cyclone intensity and fire danger; and, average annual solar radiation and humidity, and extreme daily wind-speed (each of which were found to be small, and are therefore not reported in detail).
