Climate Change Adaptation Partnerships
The Climate Change Adaptation Partnerships Program is part of Australia’s Farming Future. The Australian Government will work with research and development organisations, state governments and industry bodies to provide a framework for primary industries to adapt to climate change and manage their emissions. Funding will be provided for:
- research and development
- communications and awareness raising
- targeted training.
Research and development funding will help to prepare the agriculture sector to manage emissions and encourage on-farm adaptation and adjustment to climate change.
Funding will be provided for research projects and on-farm demonstration pilots that:
- significantly contribute to reducing emissions and improving adaptive capacity
- encourage collaboration across research organisations and state agencies to ensure large scale funding proposals and cross sectoral application.
This element of the program will be delivered jointly with the Climate Change and Productivity Research Program.
Communications and awareness raising activities will encourage primary industries to look for information and training on climate change, raise awareness and encourage behavioural change.
Targeted training activities will provide opportunities for industries and primary producers to further increase their self reliance and preparedness to deal with the impacts of climate change. Training will be made available through endorsed providers and will focus on areas such as whole farm planning, business and risk management and understanding the implications of climate change.
