The Australian Adaptation Database

The Australian Adaptation Database was developed
for research purposes, to conduct a national adaptation
stocktake and understand how Australia has progressed
in climate change adaptation. The database collects and categorises examples of adaptation activities happening across different scales, sectors and geographic locations in Australia. The featured examples have been categorised against key criteria such as location, type of organisation implementing them and climate hazard they are responding to. The data is of
interest to Australian government stakeholders who
are undertaking similar work and need such
information to fulfil their reporting requirements. It also
provides opportunity to explore the different
adaptation activities being conducted in Australia.
Given the value this dataset could provide to
stakeholders, it was decided that it would be shared
on a publicly available website.

澳大利亚适应数据库（Australian Adaptation Database）专为研究工作开发，旨在开展全国性适应行动盘点，明晰澳大利亚在气候变化适应领域的进展情况。该数据库收集并分类归档澳大利亚境内不同规模、不同行业及不同地理区域的适应活动案例，所有收录案例均依据位置、实施主体类型及应对的气候灾害类型等核心标准完成分类。该数据集对澳大利亚政府相关利益主体具有重要参考价值：此类主体正推进同类工作，需依托此类信息完成相关报告报送义务。同时，该数据集也为研究澳大利亚境内各类正在开展的适应活动提供了可行路径。鉴于该数据集可为利益相关方创造显著价值，相关决策方决定将其部署于公开可访问的网站进行共享。
