A regional climate change decision framework for natural resource management

Source: SA Dept. of Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation
"This report undertakes an assessment of natural resource management challenges that could arise due to climate change and creates an framework that seeks to provide guidance on how to respond to the risks of climate change. The report focuses on the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges (AMLR) region but the framework is designed to have a wider application for natural resource managers seeking to respond to the potential impacts of climate change. In compiling the report, six case studies were conducted to analyse the climate change vulnerabilities and adaptation responses that could be implemented for NRM issues including water, soil, biodiversity, coastal and land use management and planning."
