National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility
The Australian Government’s National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility (NCCARF) is leading the research community in a national interdisciplinary effort to generate the information needed by decision-makers to manage the risks of climate change in areas such as water resources, health, emergency management and primary industries.
It will synthesise knowledge, coordinate research activities, broker research partnerships and provide information for decision makers in a form relevant to their sectoral or regional needs.
The Facility is hosted by Griffith University in partnership with seven other universities and the Queensland Government.
The Australian Government is providing $10 million to support core functions of the Facility. In addition, through the Climate Change Adaptation Research Grants Program the Australian Government is providing seed-funding to address priority research identified through National Climate Change Adaptation Research Plans, developed by NCCARF.
