Climate Change Risk Management service

Resources to help you address climate change risks

Climate change affects all Victorians. Government organisations need to consider the risks it brings both them as agencies and the communities they serve.

Together with Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) we’ve created our first ever set of resources specifically for addressing climate change risks.

You may also want to use Victoria’s Future Climate Tool - an interactive tool to visualise climate projections for Victoria so you can make informed decisions about future investments.

DELWP has also produced a risk professional-specific User Guide for this Tool.

Designed for risk and environment specialists

In designing the three guides, we tried to strike a balance between providing enough information to increase your understanding without over-complicating things.

We created the guides with risk practitioners and at a foundational level in mind, but they’re written so all decision makers in your organisation, wherever they are and whatever they do, can understand how to consider climate change risks.

In addition to risk practitioners, the guides will help environment specialists who want to view climate change from an enterprise risk perspective.

Victoria’s Future Climate Tool User Guide has been developed specifically for risk professionals.
