Plan To Help In Coastal Climate Change
Source: Tasmania. Minister for Primary Industries and Water
"The Tasmanian Government has recognised the need to lead the response to the challenges and opportunities arising from climate change,” Mr Llewellyn said. “Climate change is predicted to lead to sea-level rise and increased risk of erosion and coastal inundation in low-lying areas of Tasmania. The Template Risk Management Plan is the first of its kind in Australia. It can be used by local councils and government authorities to systematically identify risks from sea-level rise, and possible actions to counteract this. "
