Climate change is a significant challenge for a national and volunteer based organisation such as Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA). Rising sea levels and more intense extreme events are likely to impact SLSA’s infrastructure, assets and life-saving delivery services. Across Australia, Surf Life Saving Clubs will be affected in different ways, as they all face different levels of vulnerability. Since 2010, SLSA has initiated a process to cope with these changing climate conditions at the local and national level, identifying adaptation options and key factors to increase the organisation’s adaptive capacity and resilience.
