Climate Change and Emergency Management Integration
Client: Western Alliance for Greenhouse Action (WAGA)
We supported a group of councils focussed on embedding climate change projections and aligned actions within their emergency management arrangements and organisations.
Climate change presents an evolving challenge for governments, organisations and communities.
On this initiative, we worked with the Western Alliance for Greenhouse Action (WAGA) on the project they’re leading for the Victorian Greenhouse Alliances: Victorian Climate Resilient Councils.
We supported this project through:
-
a deep dive into challenges and opportunities through environmental scanning and facilitated workshops
-
the development of guidance documents looking at best practice strategies, case studies and initiatives scenario planning
This project was designed to enhance emergency risk assessment processes by incorporating future societal and environmental changes projection driven by climate change.
With a focus on systems and interdependencies, it called on our organisation’s emergency management experience as well as our focus on resilience and sustainability.
