Research summaries

In its first phase of operation (2008-2013) NCCARF delivered over 150 research reports aimed at filling the knowledge gaps around climate change adaptation in Australia. All these reports are available on the NCCARF Publications page.

A list of the funded research projects (title, chief investigator and institution), organised by research program and sector, can be read and downloaded here:
