About the Webinar

Sector Adaptation Plans (SAPs) are central to Western Australia's approach to climate change. Established under the Climate Adaptation Strategy (2023), SAPs are designed to bring government, industry, and community together to assess climate risks and build collective capacity to respond.

This webinar, led by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA), invites environmental professionals to contribute to the development of WA's Natural Environment SAP. Your input will help drive a plan that addresses the physical climate risks and opportunities within the sector.

Why Attend?

This is an opportunity to input how WA's natural environment sector responds to climate change. Environmental professionals from across government, industry and the community are encouraged to attend and contribute their expertise to a plan that will shape WA’s adaptation actions. Attendance is free.

The Webinar Will Cover:

• An introduction to Sector Adaptation Plans
• A climate risk and vulnerability assessment for the natural environment sector
• Discuss and propose key adaptation actions
• Brief Q&A session
