"Following the serious flood events in Queensland and Victoria in 2010-11, and the reviews that were undertaken subsequently, this project was developed to analyse those reviews to determine whether they offered any lessons for climate change adaptation. Focusing on four major and recent reviews, but drawing on others as well, the project's objectives were to:- explain the relationships between floods and climate variability, and climate change adaptation - synthesise the findings from the flood inquiries in Victoria and Queensland by ordering key lessons into frameworks that aid climate change adaptation by end-users - check the lessons from these Australian inquiries against lessons for more effective flood-risk management that have been identified overseas to explore positive synergies and differences - refine the draft research finding with advice from end-users through interviews and a committee, and - communicate the lessons for climate change adaptation and limits to adaptation with key end-users involved in flood risk management. In addition to analysing the Australian flood reviews, the project also compared review processes and findings with similar processes overseas, including those in the Netherlands, China and the United States, to determine points of similarity that reinforced Australian findings and to explore differences. In addition to analysing the reviews themselves, the project team also conducted a series of semi-structured, in-depth interviews with relevant sectors, including insurance, emergency services, floodplain managers, ecosystem researchers, local government and urban utilities."--Page v.
