Description

Stage 2 of the National Climate Risk Assessment involved detailed analysis of the priority climate risks and hazards identified in stage 1 of the National Assessment.

Scientell worked closely with the Australian Climate Service to distil, consolidate, and visually communicate the key findings and messages across a suite of communication products. We summarised the key findings into multiple communication products, including factsheets, brochures, infographics, dashboards, and snapshots. This included information on a range of climate hazards, including extreme temperatures, flooding, storms, and bushfires.

Scientell also conducted extensive editing and review of the National Assessment technical reports, providing advice on structure, language, consistency and accessibility. We designed the final products to ensure consistent branding, engaging visuals and clear figures, resulting in a cohesive and professional set of National Assessment outputs.
