About this event
Scenario analysis is a process of analysing possible future events by considering alternative possible outcomes. Because the impacts of climate change are uncertain and the identification of future climate change impacts cannot be identified solely through an analysis of past change, scenario analysis is ideally suited for identifying potential climate change outcomes.
The webinar will explore the benefits to local government of climate scenario analysis. It will explain why climate scenario analysis is crucial to understanding how the risks and opportunities of climate change might impact on the business of local government.
The webinar will also consider the use of climate scenario analysis in disclosure of climate related risk and how as societal expectations about local government disclosure of climate risk changes, we will see an increasing onus on local governments to make disclosure of these matters. Finally, the webinar will look at what information is currently available to local governments to assist them in using climate scenario analysis to appropriately incorporate the potential effects of climate change into their planning processes, and the local government organisation as a whole.
