Climate Resilience

To build a climate-resilient and adaptable water sector that protects our communities, supports nature-positive outcomes and drives innovation.

By shifting from traditional approaches to climate-smart design and decision-making, we aim to reduce risk, lower emissions and embed resilience into everything we do.

The Climate Resilience Program will:

  • Shift mindsets:  Challenge outdated norms and promote low-carbon, climate-ready thinking.
  • Collaborate and lead:  Partner across sectors, share knowledge, and shape future-focused policy.
  • Focus on what matters:  Prioritise and trial high-impact ideas that benefit the whole sector.
  • Drive real change:  Turn great ideas into everyday practice through testing and adoption.
