Community expectations demand that our forests are managed in a sustainable manner. Forest managers must demonstrate environmental, social and economic performance. Financiers need assurance that their investments will deliver economic returns while minimising environmental impacts and avoiding reputation risk.

Australian Plantation Forestry Climate Change

As part of the Australian Government’s Forest Industries Climate Change Research Fund program, GHD was engaged to examine how plantation fire risk profiles may change under climate change scenarios.

One of the key climate change risks for the plantation forest industry is increasing losses from fire, coupled with rising bushfire risk management costs.
