Project methodology
This project was undertaken using a broad methodology that would efficiently capture, analyse, and
present a significant amount of information.

x
Data modelling (for climate change)
x
Literature reviews of current climate change impact themes, locally, nationally and internationally
x
Data gathering and statistical analysis
x
GIS mapping and spatial analysis
x
Workshop and questionnaires
x
Stakeholder consultation (including project steering group and project management group)
x
Peer review
Key activities during the project included:
x
