Abstract
Climate Proofing' is being promoted by SEQ Catchments and the Burnett Mary Regional Group in collaboration with Climate Change, Coasts and Catchments, at the Faculty of Science, Health and Education at the University of the Sunshine Coast (C4@USC). This is being done through the SEQ 'Climate Proofing' Demonstration Project, which has been initiated as a practical response to the growing concerns of governments and communities over the vulnerability of coastal regions to the projected impacts of climate and associated environmental changes. To date, this joint initiative (which commenced in 2006) has encompassed demonstration activities at regional, local and community scales. This paper has three purposes. First, to outline what the term means and how it is being actioned; second, to overview the work undertaken to date; and thirdly, to indicate how the project-work to date in SEQ can be built on and rolled-out to Local Government Authorities (LGA's) and communities.
