Land and sea managers face a rapidly changing climate, but finding clear, practical guidance on adaptation strategies can be challenging. This project is building a first-of-its-kind knowledge platform to connect decision-makers with the latest insights and tools on climate adaptation, helping to safeguard ecosystems for the future.
Supporting land and sea managers with climate adaptation strategies
Climate change is reshaping ecosystems, threatening biodiversity, and creating challenges for land and sea managers. Despite the urgent need for adaptation strategies, there is currently little guidance available to help biodiversity managers respond effectively. At the same time, NESP research is generating valuable insights, data, and tools that could support adaptation efforts, but these resources remain scattered and difficult to access.
This project will address these gaps by developing a cross-hub adaptation knowledge platform that synthesises and curates relevant climate adaptation information. By providing decision-support tools, case studies, and clear guidance on adaptation planning, the platform will empower biodiversity managers with the knowledge they need to integrate climate considerations into their work. Through collaboration with stakeholders, the project will ensure that climate data and adaptation strategies are practical, actionable, and aligned with the needs of on-ground decision-makers.
We now have an early taster version of the platform available for you to explore.
A collaborative effort across NESP hubs
The project collaborates with multiple NESP research teams to integrate valuable datasets and adaptation frameworks, including conservation planning, fire management, and species resilience. This cross-hub approach ensures that the platform reflects the breadth of adaptation challenges facing Australia’s land and sea managers, while providing access to the best available science, tools, and guidance in one place.
