NSW Climate Change Adaptation Strategy

Our mission is to help NSW households, businesses and government to understand and adapt to climate change impacts.

Our purpose is to help NSW take action and adapt to climate change, to build a more resilient and low emissions future for this generation and the next. 

We will do this by: 

  1. Providing relevant and credible information on climate change.

  2. Providing practical actions to help individuals and different sectors of society adapt to the impacts of climate change.

  3. Giving the people of NSW the tools to access localised climate change and hazard information.

  4. Providing case studies of adaptation that inspire action. 

  • How can businesses adapt?

    A climate-resilient business is less exposed to climate change impacts and can quickly recover and grow after extreme climate events.

    Creating a climate-resilient business involves:

    • understanding the impacts of climate change and extreme weather on your business premises, supply chains, activities and employees

    • adapting your business to be more resilient

    • being prepared for extreme events such as bushfires, storms and floods

    • supporting your employees and developing networks for information and support.

    These actions will vary, depending on your industry, location and vulnerabilities.
