We hope that this Royal Commission will investigate and make recommendations for how Australia could achieve greater national coordination and accountability – through common national standards, rule-making, reporting and data sharing – with respect to key preparedness and resilience responsibilities, including in relation to mitigating and adapting to the impacts of climate change.
