Abstract

Australia's first National Climate Risk Assessment is built on the latest science as well as learnings from other countries’ national risk assessments. The goal of the risk assessment was to identify the priority risks of climate change to Australia as a nation. Due to timeline obligations, this process needed to be completed in 4 months, a considerably shorter timeframe than other national climate risk assessments. In this paper, the authors share learnings from the process of implementing the first pass of Australia's National Climate Risk Assessment, which brought together more than 240 stakeholders across eight systems to co-develop a set of national priority risks. These learnings are used to provide recommendations and advice for working at the national scale and within short timeframes. First, a rapid climate risk assessment can bring together a significant diversity and range of stakeholders to engage in a national process and provide a broad perspective of the priorities that should be pursued. Second, the design of the process can provide multiple opportunities to iterate through drafts of risks in rapid succession. Third, bringing stakeholders into discussion across systems can increase understanding of how risks are connected and how future work could be pursued across systems for more effective risk management and adaptation planning. Our learnings help inform how future climate risk assessments can embrace the complexity of systemic risks and highlight the importance of building stakeholder networks to support both the risk assessment process and the adaptation work that follows.

从澳大利亚第一次国家气候风险评估中优先风险共同发展的经验
澳大利亚的第一个国家气候风险评估是建立在最新科学以及从其他国家的国家风险评估中学习的基础上的。风险评估的目标是确定气候变化对澳大利亚作为一个国家的优先风险。由于时间上的义务,这一过程需要在4个月内完成,这比其他国家气候风险评估的时间要短得多。在本文中,作者分享了从实施澳大利亚国家气候风险评估的第一轮过程中获得的经验教训,该评估汇集了八个系统的240多个利益相关者,共同制定了一套国家优先风险。这些经验教训被用来为在国家范围内短时间内的工作提供建议和咨询意见。首先,快速的气候风险评估可以将多样性和范围广泛的利益攸关方聚集在一起,参与国家进程,并为应该追求的优先事项提供一个广阔的视角。其次,流程的设计可以为快速连续地迭代风险草案提供多个机会。第三,让利益相关者参与跨系统的讨论可以增加对风险如何联系的理解,以及如何跨系统开展未来的工作,以更有效地进行风险管理和适应规划。我们的经验教训有助于了解未来气候风险评估如何包含系统性风险的复杂性,并强调建立利益相关者网络以支持风险评估过程和随后的适应工作的重要性。
