About AdaptNRM a national initiative that aims to support NRM groups in updating their NRM plans to include climate adaptation planning Adaptation information is delivered at a national in scale, but are designed to complement other NRM Fund projects and existing NRM activities that incorporate locally-specific issues and solutions a user-driven and engagement approach to developing NRM-relevant information
Five topic modules In multiple forms Technical guide Datasets Maps Summary material For 54 NRM groups, and beyond. Outputs
Timelines for delivery Commencement Feb 2013 Adaptation planning Mar 2014 Weeds and climate change Aug 2014 Biodiversity options Feb 2015 Shared Learning Feb 2016 Outline evaluation Sep 2013 Continued engagement with NRM groups Module content development Biodiversity implications review Sep 2014 Biodiversity implications delivery Nov 2014 Weeds delivery Oct 2014 Monitoring and evaluation
The NRM Adaptation Checklist Within each component of planning, broad guidance for how to meet the challenges Self-reflective questions on key traits of plans & planning processes Ideas, tools, resources, and examples to help figure out how to adopt the traits in more detailed, specific ways Risks of not adopting the key traits
Weeds and Climate Change: Supporting weed management adaptation Delivers a summary of knowledge, processes and tools for NRM adaptation planning for invasive plant species and weeds Synthesises impacts and adaptation information that is likely more broadly applicable across Australia. Datasets, technical guide and web pages available now
Assessing the implications of climate change for biodiversity Delivers a series of projections about the potential for broad shifts in biological diversity in response to climate change with a holistic focus Datasets, maps, technical guide and web pages Currently draft for NRM review and input Expected delivery date: late
