The Southern Slopes Climate Change Adaptation Research Partnership (SCARP) has been working since March 2013 to advance planning for climate change in collaboration with our nine Southern Slopes Cluster NRM partner organisations. SCARP activities have facilitated access to useful climate change science and adaptation information designed to support NRM partners in their adaptation planning processes. This information sheet gives an overview of the aims, research approach and processes and outputs of this project. It also provides background on Stream 1 and Stream 2, Element 1 of the NRM fund in the context of SCARP.
