Climate liability and climate risk management are ongoing issues in local government.
This project looks to develop a guide that includes tools, case studies and recommendations for councils to implement a successful climate risk capacity program (covering physical, transitional, governance, legal and financial risks). Working together, it will be delivered in 2024 through established networks, including the Regional Climate Partnership, the Climate Practitioners Network and the Environmental Sustainability Network. Be sure to check back with us to see how this project progresses.
