Presentation- Fourth meeting of the Task Force on Climate Change Adaptation - Wildfires, Tricia Addie, Australia Case Study

Environment

Adapting to a changing
climate in the management
of wildfires
Australian case study

Overview
Natural disasters are changing in
Australia, as elsewhere across the
globe.
Disaster management arrangements
must change accordingly to meet the
increasing challenges posed by climate
change, growing populations, and the
compounding and cascading effects of
disasters.

2019-20 Bushfires
Australia’s hottest and driest year on record
Over 24 million hectares burnt, with more than 3,000 homes destroyed
33 people died, with nearly 3 billion animals killed or displaced
Estimated national financial impacts total over $10 billion

Royal Commission into Natural Disaster Arrangements
The unprecedented scale and extent of the 2019-20 bushfires led to a Royal Commission to
review Australia’s disaster management arrangements
The Royal Commission made a total of 80 recommendations, directed at both the
Commonwealth as well as State and Territory Governments
To successfully implement and deliver on these recommendations, collaboration across all
sectors of Government are required.

National Recovery and Resilience Agency
One of the key recommendations of the Royal Commission was the establishment of the
National Recovery and Resilience Agency.
We are driven by the guiding principle of “locally led, locally understood and locally
implemented”.
We work closely with local communities, states and territory governments on a range of key
initiatives which support disaster risk reduction and recovery.

National Disaster Risk Reduction Framework
The National Disaster Risk Reduction Framework (NDRRF) is our principle guiding
document.
The NDRRF establishes Australia’s 2030 vision and outlines a coordinated, systemic
approach to reducing disaster risk across four implementation priorities:
1. Understand disaster risk
2. Accountable decisions
3. Enhanced investment
4. Governance, ownership and responsibility
The NDRRF recognises that all sectors of society must work together to reduce disaster risk.

Australia’s involvement
Sharing lessons learned, challenges and
opportunities following the 2019-20 Australian
bushfires
Opening bi- and multi-lateral discussions regarding
the changing environment of wildfire management
Reviewing project findings to further reduce
bushfire risk

It also summarizes the results of a global consultation on draft indicators, including responses from 80 countries and 19 international agencies. Finally, it lists some of the adaptation topics and indicators included in the draft Global Set, such as policies and plans, risk management, education, and indicators related to water, ecosystems, and agriculture.

Keynote 9 Transboundary climate risks- NAP Expo 2019

NAP Events

This document discusses transboundary climate risks and how to manage them. It defines transboundary climate risks as risks created by climate impacts or adaptation responses that cross national borders. It provides examples of transboundary food price and flooding risks. It emphasizes the need to address knowledge gaps, adopt new approaches, enhance regional cooperation, facilitate transboundary adaptation responses, and strengthen resources to manage these risks. Reframing adaptation as a global public good could help by considering transboundary risks in addition to local risks and requiring transparency, cross-border thinking, and increased multilateral cooperation.

The document discusses Japan's formulation of a National Adaptation Plan to promote climate change adaptation across all sectors. It outlines the Climate Change Adaptation Act which mandates the formulation of periodic National Adaptation Plans. The first National Adaptation Plan was published in 2015 and established 7 pillars of strategy focused on science-based adaptation, information sharing, local adaptation actions, and international cooperation. The Ministry of the Environment leads adaptation efforts through a high-level Climate Change Adaptation Promotion Council. National and local governments are taking actions to adapt key sectors like agriculture, water resources, and natural disasters based on climate impact assessments and progress monitoring under the National Adaptation Plan framework.

Benjamin Preston ORNL/IPCC: Adaptation Risk Management

NAPExpo 2014

This document discusses assessing and managing climate change risk through adaptation and risk management. It outlines how climate risk is comprised of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. Adaptation approaches can range from incremental to transformational depending on the scale of response. Tools and guidance exist to help understand hazards, exposure, and vulnerability through various sources of knowledge and analytical methods. Adaptation options then need to be appraised and prioritized to manage risk, though challenges remain in incorporating climate uncertainty, evaluating adaptation success, and identifying limits to adaptation. Capacity building is also important to support effective national adaptation planning.

Australian Bushfire Climate Plan

Turlough Guerin GAICD FGIA

Australian Bushfire and Climate Plan Final report of the National Bushfire and Climate Summit 2020 The severity and scale of Australian bushfires is escalating Australia’s Black Summer fires over 2019 and 2020 were unprecedented in scale and levels of destruction. Fuelled by climate change, the hottest and driest year ever recorded resulted in fires that burned through land two-and-a-half times the size of Tasmania (more than 17 million hectares), killed more than a billion animals, and affected nearly 80 percent of Australians. This included the tragic loss of over 450 lives from the fires and smoke, more than 3,000 homes were destroyed, and thousands of other buildings. While unprecedented, this tragedy was not unforeseen, nor unexpected. For decades climate scientists have warned of an increase in climaterelated disasters, including longer and more dangerous bushfire seasons, which have become directly observable over the last 20 years. Extremely hot, dry conditions, underpinned by years of reduced rainfall and a severe drought, set the scene for the Black Summer crisis. Recommendations - The 3 Rs - Response, Readiness and Recovery There is no doubt that bushfires in Australia have become more frequent, ferocious and unpredictable with major losses in 2001/02 in NSW, 2003 in the ACT, 2013 in Tasmania and NSW, 2018 in Queensland, 2009 Black Saturday Fires in Victoria and 2019/20 in Queensland, NSW, Victoria and South Australia. We are now in a new era of supercharged bushfire risk, forcing a fundamental rethink of how we prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from bushfires. This Australian Bushfire and Climate Plan report provides a broad plan and practical ideas for governments, fire and land management agencies and communities to help us mitigate and adapt to worsening fire conditions. The 165 recommendations include many measures that can be implemented right now, to ensure communities are better protected.

AryaAyaAriyaningsih

This document summarizes the impacts of climate change and migration on South African municipalities. It discusses how climate-related disasters are increasing in frequency and severity due to climate change. Migration trends show many people moving from rural to urban areas in search of economic opportunities, straining municipal services. Climate change is projected to negatively impact sectors like water, agriculture, and forestry. It will also likely increase the costs of infrastructure damage from more extreme weather events. The document outlines strategies and support initiatives South Africa is taking to help municipalities adapt to climate change impacts and better manage urban migration, such as developing an Integrated Urban Development Framework.

The Framework continues to anchor and guide resilience action by Australian governments. Effective responses to climate change are context- specific, and often addre ...

National plan climate changes resilience for smalls islands

Florin777

Small islands are unique and largely self-contained ecosystems. Their existence owes much to their existing environmental endowment. Preparation and understanding what sustains islands, and how they will be affected by future climate changes is an important concern. Two thirds of the countries with the highest disaster losses relative to GDP are small island states – with average annual losses between 1 and 9 percent of GDP. Losses of this magnitude are an enormous burden on a country’s budget and fiscal position, with serious consequences for growth and development prospects. They therefore represent particularly fertile sites to look at the interplay of resilience, vulnerability and adaptation.

Flood Risk Management in Australia | Research report

Neil Dufty

Australia faces coastal, riverine, and urban flooding risks that are increasing due to population growth, development, and climate change. Flood risk management is led by state and territory governments, which often delegate responsibilities to local councils. Key components of Australia's flood risk management system include flood risk mapping and communication led by local governments, risk reduction projects, flood insurance availability through the private market, and a focus on "building back better" in reconstruction. However, funding imbalances prioritize disaster response over prevention, and capacity varies across local councils. Ongoing challenges include improving flood risk understanding, coordination across levels of government, and allocating sufficient resources for prevention.

TSNDRA-2016

Christopher White

The 2016 Tasmanian State Natural Disaster Risk Assessment (TSNDRA 2016) provides an updated understanding of natural hazard risks facing Tasmania. It assesses the risks of bushfire, coastal inundation, earthquake, flood, heatwave, landslide, pandemic influenza, severe storm, and tsunami. Bushfire remains the greatest risk due to its high consequences and likelihood of occurring every 30 years on average. The report identifies risk treatment options to reduce impacts and informs emergency management planning.

NRW Incident Management Enabling Plan 2015-2020

Paul Edmonds

This document presents Natural Resources Wales' Incident Management Enabling Plan for 2015-2020. The plan aims to deliver an effective response to environmental incidents like pollution, floods, and disease outbreaks. Key objectives include preventing incidents, preparing for and communicating about risks, responding effectively, deploying resources efficiently, starting recovery early, and reviewing to improve. The plan emphasizes integrated natural resource management and working collaboratively with partners and communities to minimize environmental, social, and economic impacts of incidents.

TSNDRA-2016-All-Hazard-Summary

Christopher White

Bushfire poses the highest risk to people, with catastrophic consequences like deaths expected to occur every 30 years on average. Earthquake has the lowest risk to people due to its extremely rare likelihood of occurring and moderate consequences. In general, bushfire, flood, severe storm and heatwave were identified as high or extreme risks for deaths and injuries, while tsunami, landslide and coastal inundation had more variable risks depending on the location and scenario.

Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change. How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security? This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system. OECD Policy Analyst Lylah Davies presented key findings and recommendations from recent OECD work on assessing the financial materiality of water-related risks, including the recently published paper “Watered down? Investigating the financial materiality of water-related risks” and was joined by experts to discuss relevant initiatives underway.

The seminar on Problem Formulation for the Risk Assessment of Biopesticides stemmed from a previous CRP-sponsored event on Innovating Microbial Pesticide Testing that identified the need for an overarching guidance document to determine when in vivo tests are necessary. Problem Formulation, a common practice in pesticide risk assessment, was highlighted as a useful approach for addressing uncertainties in data requirements for biopesticides. The seminar featured presentations from various perspectives, including industry, regulatory bodies, and academia. Topics included the history and principles of Problem Formulation, industry perspectives on Problem Formulation and how it is applied internally for microbial pesticides, regulatory approaches, and specific case studies. The seminar provided an overview of the challenges, considerations, and potential solutions in harmonising Problem Formulation for biopesticide risk assessment. It emphasised the need for collaboration and discussion to develop Problem Formulation guidance for biopesticides.
