The National Climate Resilience and Adaptation Strategy 2021 – 2025 outlines how the Australian Government will fulfil its 2012 COAG Roles and Responsibilities. 

The Strategy recognises that adaptation is a shared responsibility that requires sustained and ongoing action. It operates across four domains – natural, built, social and economic.

The Strategy details three objectives to enable more effective adaptation across Australia:

• Objective 1 – Drive investment and action through collaboration
• Objective 2 – Improve climate information and services
• Objective 3 – Assess progress and improve over time.

The Australian Government’s National Adaptation Policy Office (NAPO) oversees implementation of this Strategy, coordinates work on climate adaptation across all governments, reports on Australia’s adaptation progress and provides a central point of contact and information on adaptation for businesses and communities.
