The National Strategy for Disaster Resilience outlines the Australian government's overall approach to building resilience to disasters, including those related to climate change. Primarily, it emphasizes a collective responsibility in building resilience and therefore encourages capacity building through networks and partnerships between government, civil society, private sector, and a variety of other actors. More specifically, it also calls for creating a National Emergency Management Committee, improving land use and building practices, conducting risk assessments and risk mapping, as well as a number of other functions.
