People in Victoria are already experiencing the effects of climate change, including more frequent and intense bushfires, floods, storms and heatwaves, and understand how infrastructure and the built environment supports or stymies our collective ability to cope and bounce back.
Our submission draws directly on Victorians’ experience of climate resilience. We surveyed our supporters around Victoria and 541 responded. They provided feedback on aspects of the built environment that amplify or mitigate the impacts of extreme weather, actions their community have taken to become more resilient, and whether their community fully understood the risks of climate change. They also told us how they would like to be included in the government’s work to improve our resilience.
