Planning for adaptation to climate change will be important in enabling government and organisations respond to likely impacts, including increased extreme events (IPCC 2007; IPCC 2012).
In several recent projects, we have assisted local and state government agencies in Victoria to prepare climate change adaptation plans. The knowledge requirements of stakeholders, and tools used, are critical to adaptation planning. We have identified a number of common principles that can be applied to future adaption planning. We aim to use our experience to highlight factors that we believe are integral to successful adaptation planning.
