Abstract
[Extract] This chapter discusses some of the climate adaptation options and opportunities for key industries in the Wet Tropics Cluster (WTC) region. Specifically, this chapter considers potential options for adaptation to climate change impacts for tourism, grazing, agriculture (with cropping, horticulture and forestry), fishing and mining. This chapter is written for the NRM community and its key industries and is intended to provide a framework for considering options when developing potential climate adaptation pathways for the WTC region.
