Assessment of Impacts of Climate Change on Australia's Physical Infrastructure

Home › Publications › Special Reports › Impacts of Climate Change

This study, by the Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering, concludes that the impacts of current climate change projections have the potential to significantly challenge the capacity of elements of Australia’s physical infrastructure and that action needs to be taken at the national level to ensure that appropriate adaptation measures can be implemented to meet these challenges. This important report was officially launched on 6 November 2008 by the Honourable Penny Wong MP. The launch was followed by a seminar presented by Professor Len Stevens ATSE, Dr Penny Whetton (Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research), Mr Michael Nolan (Maunsell Australia) and Mr Brian Ashe (Australian Building Codes Board).
