Leading the research community in a national interdisciplinary effort to generate the information needed by decision-makers in government and in vulnerable sectors and communities to manage the risks of climate change impacts.The key roles of NCCARF include:— developing National Adaptation Research Plans to identify critical gaps in the information available to decision-makers— synthesising existing and emerging national and international research on climate change impacts and adaptation and developing targeted communication products— undertaking a program of integrative research to address national priorities, and— establishing and maintaining adaptation research networks to link together key researchers and assist them in focussing on national research priorities.The work of the NCCARF complements activities and projects currently underway in other institutions across Australia. NCCARF is distinct from these programs in that it focuses entirely on generating the knowledge required for Australia to adapt to the physical impacts of climate change.
