Preparing for climate risks

摘要

Australia has long been recognised as having one of the most variable climates on the planet. Contrary to popular perception, most other countries think we are doing a good job in managing such variability and look to our solutions and policies as being best practice. For example, the Americans think our security-through-diversity approach to water supply is industry-leading. China believes our water management and allocation policies are best practice. Europeans see our demand management initiatives as being positioned well ahead of any other practice.
