Springwood Sports Club

Join us for an engaging and important community workshop where your voice will help shape how the Blue Mountains prepares for and adapts to a changing climate.Together, we’ll share stories, identify local priorities, and build a stronger, more resilient future—followed by a relaxed vegetarian lunch.The Community Climate Risk Assessment and Adaptation Plan (CCRAA) Program is funded by the NSW Government’s Western Sydney Infrastructure Grant (WSIG) Program.Event overviewOur community has been uniquely impacted by climate-related natural disasters, from the Black Summer bushfires to increased rainfall and flooding – leading to landslips such as the one on Megalong Road which left residents in the valley isolated.Blue Mountains City Council has sought the consultation of <a href="https://www.resilientco.au/" title="https://www.resilientco.au/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ResilientCo</a> in developing a Community Climate Risk Assessment and Adaptation Plan to underpin and strengthen our approach to climate preparedness, responsiveness and long-term adaptation.An important part of the Plan development is consultation with the community – to gain valuable local knowledge and lived experiences of climate impacts so we can identify priority risks and adaptation actions that are important to you.We also know community members are already taking action to manage risks through individual household measures, neighbourhood initiatives, local group initiatives, and local group activities. Your input ensures we build on existing community strengths and social connections.
