Phase One has been conducted in a staged approach, as follows:
| Stage | Description |
|---|---|
| Stage 1 - Vulnerability assessment | Defined the frequency and intensity of future climatic events through collecting and modelling the most up to date national and international climate data. A sensitivity and adaptive capacity assessment to provide an understanding of the risks to municipalities through a series of accepted vulnerability layers. |
| Stage 2 – Planning and action review | Established better practice in climate change adaptation and building resilience, identified current status of adaptive capacity and risk via surveys and a series of ‘health checks’. |
| Stage 3 – Strategic discussions | Facilitated a discussion within each municipality and with Regional partner organisations on forecasted impacts, current responses and local and regional opportunities. |
| Stage 4 – Municipal reports and partner consultation | Developed municipal reports with high level resilience roadmaps and fostered consultation and engagement with key regional partner organisations. |
| Stage 5 – Regional report and forums | Finalised overall report on Regional activities and discussed next steps for phase two of the project. |
