"In 2012, the Australian Government established the regional Natural Resource Management Planning for Climate Change Fund, with the aim of improving the capacity of regional natural resource management (NRM) organisations to plan for climate change. The fund included regional-level planning support as well as a series of research projects to provide regional-level climate change information and projections.The Rangelands Cluster Project was a collaboration between the Rangelands NRM Alliance, CSIRO, University of Canberra and Ninti One. The Rangelands NRM Alliance represents seven NRM regions: Rangelands WA, Territory NRM, Alinytjara Wilurara NRM (SA), SA Arid Lands NRM, Desert Channels Qld, South West NRM (Qld) and Western Local Lands Services. All the reports have also been compiled and form chapters in this document." -- [From Exectutive summary.],
