Climate change impacts, such as rising annual temperatures, increasing numbers of extremely hot days, sea level rise and acidification are already being experienced across the Territory and climate modelling shows that these will continue into the future.

Certain industries, industry sectors, and businesses will be at risk from the impacts of climate change.

This action is aimed at developing a clear understanding of the industries and sectors at most risk from the impacts of climate change in order to guide investment in adaptive management activities (where adaptation is possible and cost effective) and/ or contingency planning for industries/ businesses where adaptation is not possible.
