Climate-change research predicts drought is likely to increase its frequency, duration and severity, drastically challenging Australian agriculture and rural societies. The aim of this project is to use innovative techniques to analyse (i) national datasets to determine the economic and social impacts of droughts in rural and regional Australia; and (ii) the results of a national survey to estimate and understand farmers’ drought adaptation responses to carbon-credit market signals. The outcomes are expected to be a major step in developing and implementing cost-effective drought policies and services to minimise its complex impacts, strengthen rural and regional community resilience, and enhance sustainable agriculture in Australia.

气候变化研究预测干旱可能会增加其频率、持续时间和严重程度，给澳大利亚农业和农村社会带来巨大挑战。该项目的目的是利用创新技术来分析（i）国家数据集，以确定澳大利亚农村和地区干旱的经济和社会影响； (ii) 一项全国调查的结果，旨在估计和了解农民对碳信用市场信号的干旱适应反应。预计这些成果将成为制定和实施具有成本效益的干旱政策和服务的重要一步，以最大限度地减少其复杂影响，增强农村和地区社区的抵御能力，并加强澳大利亚的可持续农业。
