Spatial Jobs Online News Bulletin
November 2014 Issue 62
The climate has changed yet again. We have moved from Winter to Spring and soon it will be Summer.
Parts of Australia have already had unseasonably hot weather, with South Australia having to declare almost the whole of the State has having catastrophic fire conditions. And who has heard of Brisbane having 40°C at this time of the year, no need to go inside for a sauna!
Among the key findings of the Synthesis Report are—“Human influence on the climate system is clear and growing, with impacts observed on all continents. If left unchecked, climate change will increase the likelihood of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems. However, options are available to adapt to climate change and implementing stringent mitigations activities can ensure that the impacts of climate change remain within a manageable range, creating a brighter and more sustainable future.”
Whether you are a sceptic or a believer, there is no doubt the climate does undergo changes and the spatial Industry has a significant role to play in defining areas of concern and measuring risk.
In fact the NRM Planning for Climate Change project, undertaken in partnership with Natural Decisions for 7 Victorian Councils has received the 2014 Victorian Spatial Excellence Award for Sustainability and Environment.
