    Climate Change Adaptation

    Home > Research Programs > Climate Change Adaptation

    Program Leaders: Prof Peter Hayes and Prof Felicity Roddick

    Program Manager: Barbara Norman

    The Climate Change Adaptation Program (CCAP) offers you information about the program activities and the researchers involved.

    Our Goal: 

    to create a global framework for the infrastructural adaptation of cities to climate change.

    Our Objectives:
    • to complete an assessment of the relative vulnerability of strategically-chosen cities in the Asia Pacific region.
    • to design strategies to increase resilience of those cities in relation to climate-change impacts.
    • to implement an initiative composed of specific urban-infrastructural adaptive responses based on RMIT’s scientific and technological innovations that exemplify the general global principles that should frame urban climate-change adaptation.
