The Minister for Climate Change, Cassy O’Connor MP, has released an issues paper on Adapting to Climate Change in Tasmania .
The
purpose of this paper is to seek input from business, industry,
community groups, natural resource management bodies, technical experts
and the general community about the key issues, priorities, risks and
opportunities facing the State in adapting to a changing climate. The
feedback received will inform the Tasmanian Government’s approach to
climate change adaptation in the future, with a focus on specific
actions for inclusion in the 2020 Climate Action Plan to be released in 2013.
The
paper provides some background information on climate change in
Tasmania and discusses six areas where action to adapt to climate change
is likely to be needed. These areas are:
- · human settlements and infrastructure
- · natural systems
- · water management
- · industry sectors
- · natural hazards
- · human health and vulnerable communities
