QUESTION

A urban climate change impact assessment report of Brisbane city. Focus on the expected impacts on water resource availability and water supply, flood risk, urban heat, health, livability, and urban ecosystem function. Also, Focus on assessing vulnerability. Give appropriate diagrams, statistical data, flow charts or bar charts, or pie charts. The city case study is Brisbane City. GUIDE: (To form the structure, you are being asked to identify and critically assess the certainty of what we know about climate change impacts and how they will affect Brisbane City. This will require that you describe (briefly) the physical, social, and economic characteristics of the city you choose. Focus on what is relevant for the reader to know in order to understand how climate change will affect this city, and the range of peoples, places, and ecosystems within it. For example, if a city is going to be increasingly prone to flooding it will be important to characterize that city's river systems, and who and what is situated alongside them. You will need to go through each climate change impact and tease out what is known about how those impacts (e.g. increased intensity and frequency of storm events) will impact different places across the city and the peoples, economic activities, and ecosystems located at those places. Then examine how impacts might be inter-connected.
