This first Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Victoria focuses on government preparedness by ensuring that:

•  appropriate risk management strategies

       are in place for public assets and services;

• enhanced disaster resilience strategies

      are being implemented; and

• government policies and programs

      encourage and facilitate climate resilience
      and adaptive capacity across the Victorian community.

The plan provides the basis for building
Victoria’s climate resilience and a clear
framework for ongoing discussions and
partnerships with local government
and other stakeholders.
