Adaptation Planning through Resilience Explorer®
Guide communities through changing climate risk.
Resilience Explorer® brings your climate and natural hazard risk evidence together in one place. It helps you understand how risks affect infrastructure and communities, explore how different responses compare, and build the foundation for planning decisions that can be explained, defended, and updated as conditions change.
Long-term decisions about how communities respond to climate and natural hazard risks are among the most consequential you will make. The evidence behind them needs to be credible, current, and clear enough to bring elected members, communities, and partner organisations with you.
Challenges facing Adaptation Planning
Making long-term decisions while future climate and natural hazard risks remain uncertain
Building agreement across communities with different values, priorities, and risk tolerance
Ensuring decisions are supported by evidence that withstands scrutiny
REGULATORY CONTEXT
National adaptation policy now expects councils to understand climate and natural hazard risk and plan how communities will respond. Resilience Explorer® helps you do both.
How Resilience Explorer® enables Adaptation Planning
Build a shared, updateable evidence base. Work from one consistent source of risk information across your organisation.
Understand how impacts spread across systems. See how disruption in one place can affect services and communities elsewhere.
Identify when action may be neededUnderstand how risk may change over time and when intervention may be required.
Compare adaptation options before committing resources. Explore different responses and understand their potential effects.
Communicate risk and trade-offs clearly to help decision-makers and communities understand what climate and natural hazard risk means.
Support Long Term Plans and funding decisions. Provide evidence that supports planning and investment decisions.
KEY BENEFIT
Build adaptation strategies your organisation can explain, defend, and deliver as climate and natural hazard risk evolves.
