"This workshop report should be seen as only an initial step in the iterative process needed to inform the Australian public and policymakers. It can be viewed as an input into further targeted assessment. The workshop has identified the relatively poor and uncoordinated information base on the issue of climate change and its effects on biodiversity. Workshop participants agreed that in some respects, this area of work is at the stage of development that global climate science was some 15 years ago." -- p. 5.
