Data packages for the Biodiversity Impacts and Adaptation Project

The Biodiversity Impacts and Adaptation Project (BIAP) forecasts broad impacts of climate change on biodiversity and identifies adaptation opportunities that can minimise biodiversity loss in NSW.

BIAP reinforces growing impetus in the community to acknowledge and to address the risks climate change poses to environmental sustainability and quality of life.

BIAP evaluates 12 NARCliM V1.0 modelled climate futures in terms of biodiversity persistence. It supports adaptation strategies by quantifying the relative benefits to biodiversity of prospective conservation and revegetation actions across the state.

BIAP builds on OEH’s well-developed approaches to biodiversity evaluation, adding the 12 NARCliM V1.0 climate futures to the six 3C futures already completed (part of the Australian Government’s Regional Natural Resource Management Planning for Climate Change, Stream 2). It also extends modelling of the impacts of climate change on biodiversity from 2050 up to 2070.
