Local Government Adaptation
DELWP workshop
Scope:
This workshop will focus on adaptation
Adaptation: action to reduce vulnerability to impacts we are already committed to
managing the unavoidable
Mitigation: reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to avoid future impact
avoiding the unmanageable
The second Victorian Government Adaptation Plan will be delivered by the end of the year.
The State Government is committed to working with local governments to make Victoria a leader in adaptation.
Why me?
Because you play a vital role in your council (environment, planning assets and infrastructure) and we want to understand how best to support the link between your role and climate change adaptation.
These workshops will be facilitated by:
Arup
Your feedback in the workshop process will be collated and sent back to you within a fortnight.
A summary paper will be produced for your review.
