Theme 6 - Sustainability and Climate Change

The Gippsland region will become warmer and drier. It is vital that we protect our natural environment from the impacts of growth and our changing climate. This means that we need to manage and reduce the impacts of climate change and natural hazards, and support our local residents, businesses and organisations to live more sustainably.
