12/05/2016 Growing with your users. Demand driven tools to support adaptation. Dave Rissik (NCCARF) Bob Webb (ANU) “The Road to Effective Adaptation” User consultation after tool developed No training No funding for maintenance and update Tool published – little appetite for outreach by developers Tool doesn ’ t address user needs Lack of capacity of users 15 th time that tool has been developed (to the same stage!!) Picture from: The Walking Dead 1
12/05/2016 Its not all bad: we have learned a lot • The same underlying cyclical and iterative ‘risk management ’ (or equivalent) adaptation process underpins nearly all adaptation planning, decision support and assurance products • common leading practices are emerging such as decision-centred assessments, flexible pathways and uncertainty management, stakeholder engagement approaches • There are also common climate scenario/projections and risk/hazard mapping data sets • Too much effort goes into rediscovering and reinventing these for each product; leaving little resource to address the genuine differentiated needs 3 We know more about users needs. Business processes and adaptation decision entry points: Climate Change Risk and Vulnerability Assessment ; Adaptation Planning Strategic Planning Social, Economic and Environmental Natural Hazard Plans Land Use Planning Planning and Decisions Infrastructure/ Services Planning Development Decisions and Decisions Asset Management Decisions Local government 2
12/05/2016 Enablers just as important as products Enablers Communities Leadership of practice 3. Knowledge Portal Products Knowledge Governance brokering 1. Adaptation 2. Data and Process Learning Information Skilling Guidance processes Products Products Communication & Engagement We are better equipped to work with users to develop products that suits their needs • NRM Planners • Coastal decision makers 3
12/05/2016 • NRM groups involved in planning for long periods. • A range of approaches with different levels of sophistication. • Generally are based around adaptive management, risk frameworks, resilience frameworks. • Many of the actions are appropriate for climate change. BUT there is a need for assessing plans and approaches with a climate adaptation lens . 4
12/05/2016 • Approach that can enable NRM groups to assess “where they are” in climate adaptation planning. • Enable self assessment, reflection and improvement. • Take an enabling approach. Cannot solve all issues immediately and in one guide. Assist groups to start the (long) journey. Approach • Outlines 4 challenges associated with adaptation planning • Advice on uncertainty (types and how do we deal with it) • A generic framework consistent with most/all planning frameworks used by NRM • Key questions associated with each component of the framework. • Guidance about each question, links to case studies, useful material to support NRMs. • Web delivery and Guide. 5
