ATSE has today urged a suite of actions and investments to protect the future of the Murray-Darling Basin in the face of climate change, which is threatening the river’s health and sustainability.
Successfully managing our waters and catchments is critical for human flourishing, agricultural productivity, environmental sustainability, regional development, successful industry, reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and adapting to a changing climate.
The scientific evidence for global warming is unequivocal. To avoid the widespread and dangerous impacts of climate change, strong action is required. Mitigation responses are critical to reduce the rate of warming in the global climate system. Adaptation responses are necessary to reduce the impact of current and future climate-related stresses and manage future climate change risks.
