Australia has a National Climate Resilience and Adaptation Strategy, a National Recovery and Resilience Agency , and the First National Action Plan to implement the National Disaster Risk Reduction Framework which acknowledges climate change as a disaster risk driver . States and territories have climate change adaptation strategies with plans to address them , with some adaptation implementation at the state level and, increasingly, at the local government level  . In coastal zones, however, few local government planning instruments are being applied . Some businesses and industry sectors are recognising climate-related risks and adaptation planning  . There is an opportunity for Australia to undertake a national risk assessment and to develop a national climate adaptation implementation plan that is aligned with Paris Agreement expectations of a national-level system for adaptation planning, monitoring and reporting .
