1 Adapting to Climate Change: Opportunities for Community Sector Organisations Dr Hartmut Fuenfgeld Manager Climate Change Adaptation ICLEI Oceania VCOSS Congress August 2009, Melbourne

2 Climate Change Adaptation: Rationale for Community Sector and Not-For-Profit Organisations Climate change is global, universal Vulnerability to climate change is unequally distributed (geographically and socially) across human systems Community sector expected to alleviate inequality of climate change impacts

3 Organisational Drivers for Climate Change Adaptation Primary Drivers: Risk management: Legal liability, asset protection, duty of care, emergency management Service delivery: Responding to community needs of Information, guidance and regulation Secondary Drivers: ‘Get ready for the future’ - Global Change phenomena Increase organisational efficiency and collaboration Instigate/improve strategic planning process

4 ICLEI Oceania & Climate Change Adaptation Cities for Climate Protection® Adaptation Initiative: Pilot Project 2007/08 Local Government Climate Change Adaptation Toolkit (March 2009) Adaptive and Resilient Communities (ARC) –Capacity building program for local government –Process guidance for adaptation planning and resilience building

5 ICLEI Oceania Adaptation Toolkit Risk & opportunities management framework Contains 14 decision- making tools and templates Freely available: adaptation-toolkit adaptation-toolkit

6 Establish the Context Identify the Risks Analyse the Risks Implement Plan Evaluate the Risks Develop Action Identify the Opportunities Analyse the Opportunities Evaluate the Opportunities Develop Options & Assumptions Review Progress Revise Plan The Risk & Opportunities Management Process

7 Relevant Tools Organisational Questionnaire (Tool 1) Issue Brief (Tool 7) Conceptual Modelling (Tool 8) … plus workshop templates, action plan template, etc.

8 Tool: Organisational Questionnaire Simple, first-step tool to examine an organisation’s rationale for assessing climate change risks Best used as preparation and input to planning workshop

9 Tool: Issue Brief To guide an organisation through the examination of relevant climate change impacts Tool to develop and document assumptions Designed for collaboration and sharing within the organisation

10 Tool: Conceptual Modelling To help understand the broader context for various climate change impacts and issues Structured, outcome-oriented mind mapping process ‘Baseline’ for adaptive management

11 Adaptability to Coastal Erosion – Conceptual Model Adaptability to coastal erosion from sea-level rise Coastal infrastructure Emergency preparedness Technology Biological/ natural features (e.g. creeks) Property (e.g. homes) Existing structures Climate modelling Creeks Individual homes/ apartments Businesses Water and sewage Amenities (e.g. jetties, marina) Dunes Public structures Barriers (i.e. levees, drainage, hydraulics) Health (e.g. hospital, ambulance) Safety (i.e. police, fire service) Public communications Building codes Trained builders Infrastructure standards Dune grasses Scenarios/scientific information Media (e.g. TV/radio/ print) Scientific experts Water treatment plants Monitoring programs Scientific organisations Trade associations Green building policy Conservation programs Universities/trade schools Municipality: Sea-change culture Tourism-dependent economy Public environmental awareness Target Condition ComponentsDirect FactorsIndirect FactorsConditions
