Context
Following this analysis and a risk rating of impacts on Council services, we prioritised a set of immediate and short-term responses. The project involved extensive collaboration, engaging Council staff and community stakeholders through a series of targeted workshops and meetings facilitated by HIP V. HYPE.
This inclusive approach will empower Council and the Inner West community to implement effective measures in response to climate impacts. Strengthening resilience against a changing climate enables Council to allocate resources strategically and boost adaptive capacity and respond to challenges over time.
