Economic Assessment of Adaptation to Climate Change at Dhimurru IPAProject team: Neil Collier, Kerstin Zander, Lisa Petheram Partner: Dhimurru Land Management Aboriginal Corporation Funding:CDU Research Panel Grant (2008-2009) Aboriginal communities living within and around Dhimurru’s Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) in East Arnhem Land strongly rely on a hybrid economy revolving around traditional and non-traditional activities. Global environmental processes such as climate change are likely to alter this economic model. The proposed project uses market, non-market and participatory appraisals to explore how Aboriginal communities would adapt to these changes and how their economic, social and cultural welfare may be affected.

Northern Territory Government Climate Change StrategyProject team: Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Jeremy Russell-Smith, Stephen Garnett Funding: Northern Territory Department of the Chief Minister The Northern Territory Government is currently developing a comprehensive policy position on climate change. To help them they engaged Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, in collaboration with Jeremy Russell-Smith and Stephen Garnett, to develop an Issues Paper http://www.nt.gov.au/dcm/legislation/climatechange/discussion.html to bring climate change matters before the NT community. Using this document, and in response to Commonwealth Government policy being developed over the next six months, the NTG will develop position papers and government policy.
