This Indigenous-led project aims to design climate adaptation strategies to help future-proof Australian communities. Collaborating with Indigenous knowledge holders, this interdisciplinary approach responds to calls from researchers for better integration of Indigenous knowledges to bridge the science-policy interface. With a case study in northeast Tasmania, this project will implement and advance an innovative framework, the Kin and Country Framework. Expected outcomes include the development of novel approaches to designing climate adaptation strategies applicable throughout Australia. Outputs include facilitator resources, academic publications and presentations, and activation of partnerships for wider implementation and translation.","funding-current":511210.00,"funding-at-announcement":507166,"investigators-current":[{"title":"Dr","firstName":"Lauren","familyName":"Tynan","roleName":"Discovery Early Career Researcher Award","roleCode":"DECRA","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0002-6098-158X "}],"investigators-at-announcement":[{"title":"Dr","firstName":"Lauren","familyName":"Tynan","roleName":"Discovery Early Career Researcher Award","roleCode":"DECRA","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0002-6098-158X "}],"organisations-current":[{"organisationName":"Macquarie University","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"NSW"}],"organisations-at-announcement":[{"organisationName":"Macquarie University","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"NSW"}],"field-of-research":[{"isPrimary":false,"code":"440601","name":"Cultural Geography","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":true,"code":"4503","name":"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Environmental Knowledges and Management","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"450304","name":"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Environmental Knowledges","type":"FOR20"}],"socio-economic-objective":[{"code":"190101","name":"Climate Change Adaptation Measures (Excl.

The financial toll from extreme weather events will skyrocket to at least $73 billion per year by 2060—nearly double the cost in 2021 (Deloitte Access Economics, 2021). Climate adaptation strategies – efforts to develop plans for the future to reduce the impact of climate changes – are becoming mainstreamed across all levels of government.  The National Climate Resilience and Adaptation Strategy 2021-2025 (the Strategy) calls for coordinated adaptation to reduce and avoid economic costs. The Strategy also identifies Indigenous Australians as long-standing innovators of land management practices in the face of changing climates. Research calls for better integration of Indigenous knowledge and scientific data that can translate into policy. While some integration work has been done to date, this project responds to that call. Working closely with Indigenous communities in northeast Tasmania, this project will implement and advance a new framework to inform the design of climate adaptation strategies across Australia. This project area is a government priority, bringing environmental, social and cultural benefit to all Australians by generating fresh insights and transformative solutions for climate change challenges."}}}
