Australia’s National Climate Risk Assessment and Adaptation Plan
What’s new:
The federal government will soon release Australia’s first National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and National Climate Risk Assessment (NCRA) – high priorities for IGCC members.
They should be the foundations for a clear, coordinated pathway to safeguard Australia’s economic stability and productive capacity, which underpins investors’ ability to sustain returns to beneficiaries.
IGCC Members can hear directly from Jason Mundy, who’s leading the Federal Department of Climate Change and Energy’s work delivering these crucial policy documents.
Why this matters:
The increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events are already resulting in loss of life, increased disaster recovery expenses, higher insurance premiums and asset repricing.
Conversely, Australia’s proud history of innovation is already creating resilient businesses that have global markets.
To keep the economy as vibrant and productive as possible, thousands of businesses and households will need to adapt, and companies will grow to meet that demand.
If we get this right, there could be an attractive investment market in the hundreds of billions for climate adaptation and resilience.
Join us for this member briefing to hear national adaptation policy and emerging approaches to managing physical climate risks.
