There are many potential options for adapting to climate change and it is important to identify a wide range of options that can be considered by stakeholders. Some options may help to cope with present climatic extremes, while others will help once effects of climate change become greater. A good way forward is to develop a sequence of options that can be implemented as effects of climate change become more apparent.

This step focuses on implementing adaptation plans. This includes overcoming barriers, implementing actions in a realistic sequence, obtaining funding, building partnerships, and ensuring engagement takes place throughout. It is also important to ensure funding is available for any maintenance that is required over the lifespan of actions. Evaluating your plan is essential.

Barriers and limits to adaptation constrain the capacity and ability of decision-makers to take action.

Tropical cyclones and East Coast Lows are projected to become less frequent as a result of climate change but those tropical cyclones that do occur are expected to be more intense, and may track further south.

Because international efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions are insufficient to avoid the risk of impacts arising from climate change, adaptation will be necessary.

Although unlikely, it is possible that rates of climate change and sea-level rise will exceed likely estimates. This low probability but high-consequence risk needs to be borne in mind by coastal managers seeking to adapt to climate change.

How to
Scenarios are plausible climate futures, taking into account increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, and usually constructed from computer-based models of the Earth-Ocean-Atmosphere system. They should not be treated as predictions.

How to
Scenarios of future climate change for use in impact and adaptation studies are available from a number of national and state-level providers.

How to
Scenarios of future climate change, from simple maps and graphs to complex datasets, are an important component of impacts analysis and adaptation planning.

How to
Collaboration can achieve many beneficial outcomes for adaptation in areas such as stakeholder participation and buy-in, financing and information availability. Lack of collaboration may result in maladaptation as the scales of the response will not match the scales of the risk.
