Description: This project is funded by La Trobe University, and undertaken in partnership with two Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs), North East CMA, and Goulburn Broken CMA.

The aim is to develop a framework of climate change impacts on Natural Resource Management (NRM) work that will inform the identification of strengths and vulnerabilities of NRM work, and opportunities to shape resilient and adaptive NRM in response to local conditions and diverse interests and needs.

Key concepts will be developed: - Work as purposeful activity. - NRM as a set of practices. - Climate change impacts as concurrent, cascading, and compounding. - Adaptation in relation to NRM work.

The methods including interviews to understand NRM work, case studies to examine climate change impacts, and workshops to develop a framework of impacts and opportunities.

Aims
To develop a conceptual framework of Natural Resource Management (NRM) work that extends the boundaries of work to include formal and informal roles, public and private spheres, and paid and volunteer arrangements.
To understand NRM work as a practice, whereby activities are the focus on meaningful activity, and practices are influenced by institutional arrangements, knowledges, meanings, and local conditions.
To understand the impacts of climate change on NRM work including exposures, vulnerabilities and sensitivities, and impacts from ongoing stressors to extreme events, that cascade through systems, and compound vulnerabilities.
To inform the identification of strengths and vulnerabilities of NRM work, and a framework of opportunities to shape resilient and adaptative NRM.

Stage: Project inception
Start: 2024-01-15
End 2024-12-31
Research team (7)


Task: Support the development of the scope, aims, and objectives of the project. Refine considerations of the impact of the project, and public engagement. Provide expert advice on topics of NRM, climate change impacts, climate change adaptation, and social justice.
Method: Formal group
Recruitment: Directly contacted based on their potential contribution to the project.
Communication: Meetings every 6 weeks (online video calls, face to face meetings), emails, shared documents.
Barriers: Competing work commitments and significant workloads.
Compensation: paid
Declared interests: Practice: supporting resilient and adaptive NRM work. Policy: recommendations for reinforcing a supportive institutional framework in the context of climate change. Academic: contributions to considerations of climate change impacts of work, NRM work, and social justice in public engagement.
Impact: Practice, policy, and academic impact will be discussed and developed collaboratively and based on a project demonstrating research ethics and integrity.


These discussions are being held with team members as part of the project inception, and will be ongoing throughout the project.
