Abstract

Climate change adaptation is most likely to be implemented at a regional or local scale. Over the last decade a number of local governments, corporations and community groups have taken steps to manage the impacts of unavoidable climate change. As a result, there is an emerging body of practices that provide potential exemplars for practitioners and organisations considering ways to deal with the risks from climate change impacts.

There are no golden rules on how to adapt. Adaptation projects are often steps in longer learning journeys. To help practitioners learn from the experience of others the Adaptation Good Practice (AGP) project was designed to provide tangible, practical, real-life examples of adaptation processes or activities that could be used to leverage or model practices in other jurisdictions or organisations.
