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.
