Climate change adaptation

Adapting to the effects of climate change is a key concern for many properties and businesses. We provide a range of services in this space, including property greenhouse audits.

  • Property greenhouse audits: There is increasing interest in the contribution of farm businesses to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with some farmers wanting information on the amount of GHG their farming activities are responsible for, and means to reduce or offset those emissions. RMCG Tasmania has completed a number of GHG audits for farms in the Tamar Valley for Tamar NRM, using several GHG calculators. We now have the skills to undertake GHG audits on farms with various enterprises elsewhere in the state.

 

Project example: Climate change adaptation fact sheets

RMCG Tasmania developed 16 fact sheets about climate change adaptations in regard to beef and sheep production, berries, canola, cereals, dairy, horticulture, legumes, nuts, olives, pome, poppies, potato, pyrethrum, stone fruit, vegetables, and viticulture based on literature reviews and industry experience. The fact sheets can be accessed through the Cradle Coast Authority website.
