The Minister for the Environment; Science has provided the following response: (1-3) Implementation of the National Biodiversity and Climate Change Action Plan 2004 - 2007 is coordinated by the Climate Change in Agriculture and Natural Resource Management Working Group under the Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council. The Action Plan has four main intents: - identify priority areas for research and monitoring, and improve understanding of potential climate impacts on biodiversity to a point where specific strategies can be developed; - use existing knowledge about the impacts of climate change and draw from ecological principles to review and amend current biodiversity conservation policies and strategies; - improve communication about the impacts of climate change on biodiversity between researchers, resources managers and decisions makers; and - raise community awareness of the potentially significant and specific impacts of climate change on biodiversity. To achieve these intents, the Action Plan has seven objectives, 27 strategies and 63 actions, which are generally applicable across all jurisdictions rather than just Western Australia. The Working Group is currently completing a stocktake of progress on all actions in the Action Plan, a copy of which can be provided on its completion.
