More about this site
The Queensland Government launched the Queensland Climate Change Centre of Excellence (QCCCE) on 15 March 2007, and developed ClimateSmart Adaptation 2007–12, its action plan for building the state’s resilience to climate change. It is the role of QCCCE to implement this plan, a component of which is to develop a web portal to provide a single point of access to:
- Queensland Government climate change information and science
- tools for self-assessment of risk and vulnerability to climate change.
Other responsibilities
The Centre is also responsible for actions such as:
- developing and disseminating public information materials about the potential impacts of climate change
- assessing what core Queensland business is at risk from climate change
- preparing a climate change vulnerability assessment of Queensland’s regions and sectors
- preparing regional–scale climate change projections for priority areas.
Collaboration
To ensure that Queensland has access to the best available climate change science, projections and data, QCCCE is maintaining and enhancing national and international collaborative research partnerships.
As shared programs and projects develop, the website will be the point of access for online collaboration, data sharing and climate change analysis.
