Climate Change Adaptation Strategy – Draft for Public Consultation ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE REPORT Agenda Item 5.3 8 July 2008 CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION STRATEGY – DRAFT FOR PUBLIC CONSULTATION Division Strategic Planning and Sustainability Presenter David Mayes, Manager Strategic Planning and Sustainability Purpose 1. To provide the Environment Committee the draft of the Climate Change Adaptation Strategy and to seek endorsement for the draft to be released for consultation. Recommendation from Management 2. That the Environment Committee: 2.1. endorse the release of the draft Climate Change Adaptation Strategy; and 2.2. note the proposed consultation process. Background 3. Large sectors of society and the economy are likely to be impacted by climate change. Climate related changes are already happening in Melbourne. 4. The municipality of Melbourne is vulnerable to the effects of climate change which are predicted to include rising temperatures, reduced rainfall, increased extreme rainfall events, sea level rise and extreme wind speeds. Council needs to plan to manage the changes and risks presented by the impacts of climate change. Key Issues 5. The Draft Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (Attachment 1) analyses predicted climate, impacts and implications and socio-economic changes for Melbourne. It outlines an integrated assessment framework, risk assessment, risk management plan and adaptation strategy and proposes mechanisms and timeframes for Council to manage these risks. Relation to Council Policy 6. Key elements of the draft strategy are included in the draft Eco City goal of Future Melbourne (sub goal Adapt for Climate Change). 7. This report relates to: 7.1. the Heatwave Response Plan (currently under development); and 7.2. Council’s commitment to the C40 Large Cities Climate Leadership Group. 8. This report is one of three environmental policies that are currently being finalised, the other two being: 8.1. City as a Catchment, which focuses on sustainable water management; and 8.2. update of Zero Net Emissions by 2020, which focuses on the reducing climate change emissions within the municipality. Consultation 9. Public consultation will commence early July 2008 and finish early August 2008. This will allow the finalised report to be presented for consideration at the September Environment Committee meeting. The scope of the consultation includes: 9.1. directly seeking comments from internal and external stakeholders. A full list of external stakeholders is at Attachment 2; 9.2. making the draft available through the City of Melbourne website and Frontline; and 9.3. a notice seeking public comment/submission will be published in Melbourne News, the Green Leaflet (electronic), Melbourne Weekly, and the Leader Newspaper. 10. The following organisations have been consulted in the development of the current draft: - Victoria Police, Yarra Trams, Connex, SES, Metropolitan Ambulance Service, Department of Sustainability and Environment, Department of Human Services, Sustainability Victoria, National Australia Bank, Transurban, Basset, Envestra, Citipower, Melbourne Water and South East Water. Finance 11. There is no direct financial implication arising from the recommendation contained in this report. Legal 12. The subject matter of the report is within the objectives of the Council. Sustainability 13. The impacts of climate change have the potential to cause significant disruption to most aspects of council operations and to the municipality as a whole. Impacts are being experienced now and these will increase in severity and intensity over the next 20 years and beyond. The Climate Change Adaptation Strategy will inform areas of Council that require attention to mitigate against the effects of climate change and adapt to an increasingly hostile environment.

The authors hope that the publication of this list of teams and players will encourage federations of the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF) to search their records in order to add the names of missing players and coaches in a subsequent publication. We apologize for the numerous omissions and for the errors in spelling to certain names. This is due to missing documentation or errors in spelling on documents we obtained. During our editing of this work, in March 2009 and following, we were fortunate to receive some names of players that we had previously had no success in obtaining. We extend our gratitude to Dr. Ian Brittain, Paralympic historian, for providing the names of starting-5s for each competing nation in the 1960 Paralympics, as well as some missing scores. It is hoped that readers will help complete the list of teams. Additions or corrections to team lists may be addressed to armandthiboutot@ aol.com.
