Climate Adaptation: When? Catherine McMahon Port Adelaide Environment Forum 15th November 2018
Need for climate adaptation • Current cost of natural disasters in Australia - $18.2b (average over last 10 years to 2016) • More than 9 million Australians have been impacted by a natural disaster • 2 billion people affected worldwide in last 10 years • Est economic cost by 2050 - $39b in Australia https://www.redcross.org.au/news-and-media/news/
Major local risk - flooding Portside Messenger: Flooding near Birkenhead Bridge, May 2016
Current Impacts • Lives and health • Homes and property • Businesses and farms • Resources e.g. water supply • Infrastructure e.g. electricity, roads, Surf Life Saving Clubs • Natural systems e.g. coral reefs, pollination, water • Inequitable outcomes
Action - National Government? • Very limited commitment and action • Some signs of action: • Emergency management nationally recognises climate change as major risk e.g. Natural Disaster Resilience Plan (2011) • Agriculture – paper to go to Ag Ministers - climate change adaptation in agriculture (April 2018) • BOM • APRA and ASIC – climate risk disclosure
Action - National Platform – ALP? Recognises: • Australia experiencing effects of climate change, right now • Helping communities adapt to a changing climate is essential ‘ Labor will work with states, territories, local councils and community organisations to identify and address their vulnerability to climate change’ https://www.alp.org.au/media/1276/2018_alp_national_platf orm_-_consultation_draft.pdf
Action – States? • Victoria & ACT appear to lead in implementing climate adaptation plans • Regional plans in place across SA e.g. AdaptWest, but lack funding for implementation • Lack of funds in SA also to key infrastructure agencies • Coast Protection Board • Stormwater Management Authority • Some SA Government urban planning policies have heightened risks to communities
Action – Local Government? Climate change now ‘core business’ for Councils Councils has ‘least resources’ Concerns about their legal liability Unclear responsibilities re State & local government https://www.governmentnews.com.au/councils-feel-the-pinch-on-climate-change/ published 16.8.2018
Tackling Climate Risk? • Business required to address - APRA and ASIC • Banking and finance • Insurance • Superannuation • Governments • Species
