This report is one of several inputs that will help inform the assessment of costs and benefits under the Government's national adaptation framework.
The analysis is scenario-based and reflects data and assumptions available at the time of modelling. It presents results at regional and national levels only (not sub-regional level or property-specific conclusions). As with all modelling, the results are subject to uncertainty and may over- or underestimate actual outcomes.
The report does not represent government policy.
