About the authors Based in Canberra, Tira Foran, Rachel Williams and David Fleming are researchers with CSIRO Land and Water Flagship. Tira and Rachel's research interests are in interdisciplinary approaches to addressing sustainability challenges. David's research interests are in spatial and econometric approaches to economic growth and development. Based in Alice Springs, Bruno Spandonide is a Research Officer working on the Transport Futures project as part of the Climate Change Adaptation, Energy Futures and Carbon Economies in Remote Australia project with the CRC-REP. Bruno's research interests are in transport geography and strategic regional planning. Previously based in Alice Springs, Digby Race was a Principal Research Leader with the CRC-REP. Digby's research interests relate to the socioeconomic dimensions of development for rural and remote communities. Based in Brisbane, Anne-Maree Dowd is a senior researcher with CSIRO Land and Water Flagship. Anne-Maree's research interests are in transformational adaptation decision-making in the agriculture sector.

He has worked in government and private forestry sectors and as a Forestry Research Scientist in Zimbabwe. He managed large-scale plantation development projects for domestic and international investors, in regions spanning South Australia to south east Queensland. In 2005 he started full-time PhD studies at Charles Sturt University, and is researching the topic 'Social dimensions of plantation forests in new landscapes'. He also has interests in a family farm in Victoria that integrates farm forestry with prime lamb production. Dr Digby Race leads several large research projects exploring the socioeconomic implications and opportunities of changing natural resource (farm) management for farmers and rural communities, and has expertise in designing effective partnerships between small-scale growers/farmers and agribusiness. Professor Allan Curtis has an international reputation for research examining watershed organisations, the policy and institutional arrangements supporting catchment management, understanding rural landholder adoption of conservation practices, and the evaluation of natural resource management programs.

This report outlines strategies to lessen these multiple impacts. The CRC-REP acknowledges that climate change is one of a range of drivers of change shaping the lives and businesses in remote Australia, but one that can be increasingly understood and prepared for to reduce the negative impacts. Key messages: • Pathways for effective adaptation are not necessarily clear or straightforward and are likely to include some risk and uncertainty. • Enterprises’ planning should incorporate this risk and uncertainty. • Adaptation needs to be seen as an ongoing process, so enterprises should create strategies for regularly reviewing their performance and strategic direction and develop strategies for change as necessary (adaptive management). • Individual enterprises should support sector-specific initiatives that scan and evaluate the drivers of change for people and enterprises in remote Australia (including fluctuating economic circumstances, operating costs, demographic movements, climate change) with analyses synthesised for stakeholders. • Communities should establish and support processes that help enterprise managers exchange information, review their current performance, benchmark with peers and take active steps to build the assets (capitals) that underpin their livelihoods and enhance resilience
