Session 3 October 2022: Incorporating Climate Change

Both subtle and clear impacts of climate change are already emerging across Australian landscapes. Bush Heritage Australia’s vision of Healthy Country, Protected Forever relies on a deep understanding of climate affected future scenarios across each of our Priority Landscapes. This webinar will present the work we have undertaken to understand the impacts of a changing climate, including working closely with Australia’s Climate Science Centre and CSIRO Land and Water. Our purpose was to empower and inform decision-making by our strategy, planning and on-ground teams as they develop or adapt land management plans, set goals, and implement strategies to protect biodiversity and human well-being in future climates. Our vision for this project is to see our people with hope, knowledge and confidence, and biodiversity with a more secure future. This work was also designed to be shared widely with sector and other partners with a focus audience through both independent analysis and reports but within our management plans. We’ll present how we are using the ‘Climate-Smart conservation practice: using the conservation standards’ to assimilate our findings of this project with our own Conservation Management Process to guide and inform our on ground management.
