DCCEEW Stakeholder Survey
As part of ongoing stakeholder consultation, the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water has developed a short
survey to better understand how climate change is impacting restoration projects across the state.
The survey aims to:
Capture local experiences of climate risks and impacts on restoration efforts,
Identify whether climate adaptation actions are being considered or implemented, and
Understand what information, tools, or resources could better support restoration practitioners in planning for a changing climate.
We are hoping to reach a wide range of practitioners, planners and policy makers working in ecological restoration across NSW and would
greatly appreciate your help in circulating this survey through your networks.
The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and does not collect any personal or identifying information. All
responses will be reviewed carefully to ensure they remain anonymous.
Please feel free to forward this message and survey link to any colleagues, project partners or relevant contacts who may be interested in
contributing. The broader the reach, the better the insights we can gather to support effective, climate-resilient restoration in NSW.
