After more than a year of work by our biosphere community, our draft Climate Action Plan is ready for review. Studies show that our biosphere is particularly vulnerable to a range of impacts from our changing climate such as floods, storm surges and sea level rise. To address these challenges, we've held a series of workshops where we've gathered community views on how to prepare for such impacts. With the help of SEQ Catchments and University of Sunshine Coast, we have produced a draft Climate Action Plan. It also contains up-to-date information and hazard maps showing how our biosphere may be impacted in the future. More >>

After socialising over a tasty light supper, the group got down to the serious business of developing a local action plan to respond to potential impacts of severe weather events. More >>
