Overview:
The National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility (NCCARF) was set up at Griffith University in 2008. Its role, funded by the Australian Government, is to support decision makers with the knowledge they need to successfully adapt the nation to climate change. NCCARF is a ‘boundary organisation’ between science and policy, seeking to build capacity and knowledge in both communities.
NCCARF has recently completed the construction of a decision support and information delivery framework for coastal adaptation, CoastAdapt. This can be accessed at coastadapt.com.au. It is now used across Australia by coastal managers to support their planning and project implementation for climate change adaptation. With support from the Commonwealth Government, NCCARF is now exploring the potential to build a sustainable funding strategy for CoastAdapt, and to grow CoastAdapt into a framework applicable more widely, for example for inland areas of Australia. NCCARF is already planning additions and changes to CoastAdapt which will make it more useful and usable to our target audience.
NCCARF relies heavily on the web for promotion of its activities more generally. It has its own website, which is now a large resource on adaptation relevant for Australia and internationally, carrying research reports, policy information briefs and news about adaptation activities. NCCARF runs a biennial conference and promotion of this in order to ensure a large and successful event will be important over the next months.
