Review: The report takes a risk management approach to identifying the sectors and regions that might have the highest priority for adaptation planning. It is important to consider how effectively key systems will respond to climate change in coming years, and the development of policies that align the direction and extent of adaptation actions with social objectives and values. This report explores the risks to Australia from the impacts of climate change over the next 30 to 50 years. Within this, an analysis of comparative risks will be important for identifying priorities for adaptation action and planning.
