Net Balance, in collaboration with RMIT University and the City of Greater Geelong in Australia, has developed an “Adaptation Toolkit” to assist organisations in prioritising their climate risks and adaptation actions. There are three separate tools that make up the toolkit. The first tool explores in detail the risk context, the second provides a process for identifying, exploring and evaluating adaptation options, and the third tool outlines a process for decision makers in an organisation to consider any interactions between a new proposal/project and climate change risks and adaptation actions. Although the toolkit includes examples relating specifically to a local council context, aspects will be applicable to a wider range of organisations and sectors, and each of the included tools can readily be adapted to specific local and organisational contexts.
