Adaptation and resilience
These statements are our policy positions. They give a clear direction of council's intent.
12.1 Adaptation enables the whole community to build climate and disaster resilience:
- Risk assessment, risk reduction, adaptation, and disaster management are embedded into decision-making, systems and processes
- Resilience is enabled through cost effective investment in risk assessment, adaptation, disaster management and the utilisation of innovative technologies and concepts
- Accurate and current models, mapping and other corporate datasets inform the understanding of the risks associated with climate change
- Adaptation and disaster risk reduction planning minimises economic, social, environmental and infrastructure impacts
- Strong and enduring partnerships are established and supported to improve understanding and action on climate adaptation
- Collective action delivers a resilient Sunshine Coast.
