Data packages for the Biodiversity Impacts and Adaptation Project

The Biodiversity Impacts and Adaptation Project (BIAP) forecasts broad impacts of climate change on biodiversity and identifies adaptation opportunities that can minimise biodiversity loss in NSW. \r\n\r\nBIAP reinforces growing impetus in the community to acknowledge and to address the risks climate change poses to environmental sustainability and quality of life. \r\n\r\n\r\nBIAP evaluates 12 NARCliM V1.0 modelled climate futures in terms of biodiversity persistence. It supports adaptation strategies by quantifying the relative benefits to biodiversity of prospective conservation and revegetation actions across the state.\r\n\r\n\r\nBIAP builds on OEH’s well-developed approaches to biodiversity evaluation, adding the 12 NARCliM V1.0 climate futures to the six 3C futures already completed (part of the Australian Government’s Regional Natural Resource Management Planning for Climate Change, Stream 2). It also extends modelling of the impacts of climate change on biodiversity from 2050 up to 2070.\r\n

生物多样性影响与适应项目（Biodiversity Impacts and Adaptation Project，BIAP）旨在预测气候变化对新南威尔士州（New South Wales，NSW）生物多样性的广泛影响，并识别可最大限度减少该州生物多样性丧失的适应路径。

该项目强化了社会各界日益增强的行动动力，推动各方认识并应对气候变化对环境可持续性与生活质量构成的风险。

该项目基于生物多样性存续性维度，对12套NARCliM V1.0模拟的未来气候情景开展评估；通过量化全州范围内拟实施的保护与植被恢复举措对生物多样性的相对增益，为适应策略制定提供支撑。

该项目依托新南威尔士州环境与遗产局（Office of Environment and Heritage，OEH）成熟的生物多样性评估方法体系，将12套NARCliM V1.0未来气候情景纳入已完成的6套3C未来气候情景（属于澳大利亚政府《气候变化下区域自然资源管理规划》第二阶段的内容）；此外，项目还将气候变化对生物多样性影响的模拟周期从2050年延伸至2070年。
