Organisational Climate Risk

Organisational climate risk is an adaptation response at the operational level. The objective of organisational climate risk actions is to mitigate climate change risks to an organisation's programs, operations, assets, and staff.

Principles

Actions to reduce an organisation's climate risk should be evidence-based. They should be informed by robust climate assessments, and they should be informed by credible local climate change data or projects.

Actions to reduce an organisation's climate risk should be equitable. They should consider how climate risks may impact differently on staff and how risk management measures can account for these.

Actions to reduce an organisation's climate risk should be inclusive. They should involve local staff, community members and leaders to support the identification of local climate risks.

Actions

Actions that organisations can take to start identifying and planning for climate change risks to programs and operations include:

Including climate change risks in the organisation's strategic and operational risk register.
Ensuring that country strategies, security and contingency plans include an analysis of potential short to medium term climate change impacts on operations, programs, assets, and staff.
Identifying and disseminating credible climate projections, as downscaled as possible, for all operational and program areas to relevant managers and staff.
Ensuring the design of all new projects considers the projected climate change impacts for the targeted areas and assesses the potential impact of these changes on project outcomes and sustainability.

Decarbonising Programs and Operations

Decarbonising programs and operations is a mitigation response at the operational level. The objective of decarbonising programs and operations is to reduce the impact of an organisation’s own operations and programs.

Principles

Actions to reduce an organisation’s carbon emissions should be evidence-based. They should be informed by a publicly available organisational emissions inventory. They should be based on actions that are proven to reduce emissions, and they should be implemented at a speed and sale that aligns with climate science and global efforts to keep warming to as close to 1.5°C as possible.

Actions to reduce an organisation’s carbon emissions should be equitable. They should ensure that responsibility for reducing emissions is shared across organisational operational areas, and ensure that the work is funded and does not fall only on staff with operations responsibilities.

Actions to reduce an organisation’s carbon emissions should be inclusive. They should involve staff in Australia and overseas to support the identification and implementation of emission reduction opportunities.

Actions

Steps that organisations can take to reduce emissions include:

Developing a greenhouse gas inventory for the organisation and establishing an emissions baseline.
Committing to organisational emissions reduction targets that are in line with (or better than) the required rate of global emissions reduction.
Developing an action plan to reduce emissions in line with targets.
Auditing emissions inventory annually to monitor and track emission reductions.
Divesting from banks and other financial institutions that continue to fund fossil fuels.
Promoting ethical superannuation funds that do not invest in fossil fuels.
Reducing the number of domestic and international flights taken by the organisation.
Installing rooftop solar panels at offices or purchasing 100 per cent green certified energy.
Replacing gas heating or appliances with electric alternatives.
Offsetting unavoidable emissions.

Building Climate Resilience

Building climate resilience is an adaptation response at the programmatic level. The objective of actions to build climate resilience is to build the resilience of communities to anticipate, adjust, prepare, and respond to changed climate conditions.

Principles

Actions to build climate resilience should be evidence-based. They should be informed by credible climate change data and projections; and they should be informed by risk and vulnerability assessments that consider the differentiated risks and vulnerabilities of different groups.

Actions to build climate resilience should be equitable. They should seek to understand the differentiated impacts of climate change on different groups; seek to identify and respond to issues of inequality, exclusion and power; and promote and uphold human rights.

Actions to build climate resilience should be inclusive. They should engage local communities and be locally-led, including the identification, design, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of actions.

Actions

Actions that organisations can take to help build resilience include:

Conducting climate risk and vulnerability assessments.
Increasing access to early warning systems and development of early actions.
Improving preparedness with contingency plans and emergency responses.
Establishing effective governance to manage climate risks, accompanied by human and institutional capacity-building.
Utilising nature-based solutions to reduce risks.
Climate proofing of infrastructure and services.
Increasing access to insurance and social protection instruments.
Sharing knowledge and best practice on climate risk management.
Increasing the volume, quality and access of public and private finance to invest in resilience.

Nature Based Solutions

Nature-based solutions are environmental restoration responses at the programmatic level. The objective of nature based solutions is to address the causes and reduce the impact of climate change by protecting and restoring ecosystems that support human life, while preserving biodiversity.

Principles

The implementation of nature-based solutions should be evidence-based. They should be informed by credible environmental assessments and climate change data, and ensure that solutions are appropriate for the local community and environment.

The implementation of nature-based solutions should be equitable. They should consider potential social, economic, and environmental impacts and how different groups use and access local space and the natural environment.

The implementation of nature-based solutions should be inclusive. They should engage local communities and, where possible, be locally led, including the identification, design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of actions.

Actions

Common types of natured based solutions include:

Ecosystem restoration approaches: ecological restoration, ecological engineering, forest landscape restoration.
Issue-specific ecosystem-related approaches: ecosystem-based adaptation, ecosystem-based mitigation, climate change adaptation services, ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction.
Infrastructure-related approaches: natural infrastructure, green infrastructure.
Ecosystem-based management approaches: integrated coastal zone management, integrated water resources management.
Ecosystem protection approaches: area-based conservation approaches, including protected area management.

Low Carbon Development

Low carbon development is a mitigation response at the programmatic level. The objective of low carbon development is to support the delivery of sustainable development outcomes through the utilisation of clean technology and the development of long-term low emissions development strategies.

Principles

Low carbon development actions should be evidence-based. They should be informed by credible analysis of emissions or other pollution from target activities. They should also be based on credible research or proven technology and actions.

Low carbon development actions should be equitable.They should ensure that the benefits of low carbon development solutions are shared across different groups; they should consider potential social, economic and environmental impacts on different groups; and they should consider opportunities to promote the social and economic inclusion of marginalised groups.

Low carbon development actions should be inclusive.They should engage local communities and, where possible, be locally led including the identification, design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of actions.

Actions

Key steps in preparing a low-emission climate-resilient development strategy are:

Developing a multi-stakeholder planning process.
Preparing climate change profiles and vulnerability scenarios.
Identifying strategic options leading to more equitable low-emission climate-resilient development trajectories.
Identifying policies and financing options to implement priority climate change options.
Preparing a low-emission climate-resilient development roadmap.

Increasing Environmental Protection and Restoration

Increasing environmental protection and restoration is an environmental restoration response at the policy and advocacy level. The objective is to elevate and integrate environmental protection and restoration as a key pillar of sustainable development policy and practice, and to increase global and national efforts to stop and reverse destruction, degradation and fragmentation of all types of ecosystems.

Principles

Environmental policy and advocacy initiatives should be evidence-based. They should be informed by, and offer, credible research and analysis on international environmental and biodiversity agreements. They should be supported, where possible, by ANGOs’ experiences and firsthand evidence of the impact of environmental degradation on local communities.

Environmental policy and advocacy initiatives should be equitable. They should seek to ensure the protection and restoration of critical ecosystems and natural assets for all communities around the world.

Environmental policy and advocacy initiatives should be inclusive. They should include the voices of people and communities most affected by environmental degradation and climate change. Where possible, they should be led by local communities and indigenous knowledge and practices.

Actions

Key advocacy issues for increasing environmental protection and restoration include:

Addressing the drivers of deforestation and habitat fragmentation such as palm oil and timber plantations, cattle, mining, road construction and urban sprawl.
Prioritising nature based solutions, including by incentivising the delivery of environmental benefit through elevating the environment (and climate change adaptation) as a core investment in the development policy.
Stopping the overfishing of the oceans by prohibiting certain fishing practice to prevent bycatch, and enforcing international agreements.
Addressing desertification and land degradation.
Preventing pollution from destroying local ecosystems, including by regulating industrial and mining by-products, improving general waste management and recycling systems, and banning single-use plastics.
