ADAPT Loddon Mallee takes a regional, learn-by-doing approach to climate change adaptation.
Our program aims to increase community resilience by building climate knowledge, grassroots leadership skills and supporting place-based adaption action.
Climate change adaptation action will help individuals, communities, organisations and natural systems to deal with the impacts of climate change that cannot be avoided.
Our pilot initiatives will help us to understand how climate change is impacting our communities and identify local adaptation priorities. Learning from these initiatives and projects will help us get climate-ready and inform a plan to get our region climate-ready.
CLIMATE READY COMMUNITIES
The Climate Ready Communities initiative is your opportunity to support your community to understand how changes in our climate are impacting life in our region so we can plan and prepare to manage climate risks.
YOUTH CLIMATE NETWORK
The Youth Climate Network is a space for young people living in the Loddon Mallee region to connect with other like-minded people, share information and learnings, and have their voice heard in planning for a climate ready future. We are excited to announce these new activities where regional youth can learn, advise and create!
