Harnessing NARCliM for Coastal Management & Climate Adaptation

 

SCCG’s member councils are at the forefront of addressing the impacts of climate change on our coastal regions. A critical tool in their arsenal is the NSW and ACT Regional Climate Modelling (NARCliM) project, which provides high-resolution climate data to support informed decision-making.

NARCliM is instrumental in coastal management initiatives, particularly in assessing the risks of sea level rise, coastal inundation, and water quality issues. By integrating NARCliM data into their projects, our member councils are better equipped to develop robust climate adaptation strategies, including detailed adaptation plans (DAPs).

The evidence-based insights provided by NARCliM allow councils to incorporate accurate risk assessments into their planning processes, ensuring that their communities are resilient to the challenges posed by climate change.

To learn more about the benefits of NARCliM and how it supports our region’s adaptation efforts, watch SCCG’s Executive Director highlight these key messages in a recent video from the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW).
