Adaptation in Australia

A film by Wetlands International in which we explain and demonstrate how conservation and restoration of wetlands can be a cost-effective strategy for climate adaption. The film shows how restoring mangroves and other coastal nature can reduce the impacts of climate change such as extreme storms and sea level rise.

The Rockefeller Foundation Climate Change Initiative would catalyze attention, funding, and action in building climate change resilience for poor and vulnerable people globally by:

The Frontlines Forum seeks community-based experiences with climate change: impacts, opportunities and adaptation strategies. It provides a platform for sharing observations, concerns and innovations. We invite contributions from indigenous or rural communities in small islands, high altitudes, the Arctic, desert margins and other vulnerable environments.

CBA-X is a shared online resource designed to bring together and grow the CBA community. It provides a site for the exchange of up-to-date information about community-based adaptation, including news, events, case-studies, tools, policy resources, and videos.

The Seventh Brunel International Lecture Series began on 9th June 2008 at One Great George Street, the home of the Institution of Civil Engineers. The groundbreaking lecture is now travelling to key cities around the world throughout 2008 and 2009. The lecture outlines the challenges facing us, as society has to really address the problems caused by climate change and a burgeoning world population.

Welcome to Climate Change and Your Home an interactive web portal designed specifically to help those who own or manage houses built of traditional construction understand more about the potential impacts of climate change and ways to save energy.

The mission statement of the Earth System Science Partnership calls upon social scientists to develop 'strategies for Earth System management'. Yet what such strategies might be, and how such strategies can be developed, remains poorly understood in the social sciences. Moreover, social scientists tend to disagree with the notion of 'management', and rather prefer the term 'governance', which is, in social science terms, rather non-hierarchical, decentralised, less government-driven and open for multiple perspectives and stakeholders. What are then the appropriate theories and strategies for sustainable earth system governance? This question stood at the centre of the 2007 Amsterdam Conference on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change, held 24-26 May 2007 at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, The Netherlands

A website to allow the running of web-based models of water quality, flow and sediment yield for NZ rivers.

This study is intended to provide information on the climate changes that the NE region of the UK will face, how these changes will impact on the region's society, buildings, infrastructure and key economic assets, and what needs to be done now to adapt to the predicted impacts.
