LOCAL CLIMATE ADAPTATION POLICY ON AUSTRALIA CUSTOM ESSAY
1) Questions
Write a DRAFT CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION STRATEGY 2012-2052 FOR THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT* AND INFRASTRUCTURE** ON AUSTRALIA?S GOLD COAST THAT: USE the QUESTIONS AS A HEADING to divide the essay into sections.
1. BRIEFLY SUMMARISES THE EXPECTED PHYSICAL IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE such as higher temperatures, sea level rise, changes to rainfall, greater coastal erosion, increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events (such as heatwaves, droughts, storms or floods), etc.
2. OUTLINES AN APPROPRIATE CONSULTATION PROCESS with the key stakeholder groups (and identifies what kinds of groups would be included in this process).
3. ALLOCATES PRIORITY ADAPTATION ACTIONS to each group of stakeholders.
4. EXPLAINS HOW A RANGE OF POLICY INSTRUMENTS will be deployed to support these actions in a way that is effective, efficient and appropriate.
5. ESTABLISHES A MECHANISM TO COORDINATE, IMPLEMENT, EVALUATE AND MANAGE the policy instruments and priority adaptation actions proposed by this strategy.
6. INCLUDES AN INTRODUCTION, MAIN BODY WITH (TABLES, DIAGRAMS, ILLUSTRATED FIGURES), CONCLUSION AND REFERENCES.
* THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT INCLUDES AREAS WITH BUILDINGS THAT ACCOMMODATE HOUSING, RETAIL, ENTERTAINMENT, COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, GOVERNMENT ORGANISATIONS OR COMMUNITY GROUPS.
** INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDES STRUCTURES ASSOCIATED WITH ENERGY, WATER, SEWERAGE, WASTE DISPOSAL, TRANSPORT, COMMUNICATION, PUBLIC SPACES, EDUCATION, WELFARE, HEALTH, EMERGENCY SERVICES, OR COMMUNITY SERVICES.
You should:
? Do a search of the academic literature using one of the many databases (Google Scholar is very useful, try searching for combinations of key words such as CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION, GOLD COAST AUSTRALIA, ADAPTATION PLANNING, ADAPTATION POLICY, etc.) and limit your search to peer-reviewed academic journal articles;
? Cite and use at least 24 peer reviewed academic journal articles in addition to the relevant policy documents and official reports in section 3 (below);
? Do not use unreliable on-line sources such as Wikipedia or marks will be deducted;
? USE THE REFERENCING SYSTEM HARVARD IN CHAPTER10 OF HAY, I. 2006. COMMUNICATING IN GEOGRAPHY AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES. 3RD EDITION. OXFORD;
example of reference style: Hester, R. M. 2011. ?Sustainable Water. Chicago?, Royal Society of Chemistry, vol. 4, Issue 1, pp. 64?78 (online), Available: http://www.watersecure.com.au/pub/images/stories/factsheets/watersecure_factsheet_envirobenefits_web.pdf (21 September 2012).
