Executive Summary
The report has shed light on the principle of sustainability in Melbourne. The green
space movement along with the adaptation of diverse climatic change is the reason, which
builds a partnership with the social process that can resist the human interference in climatic
change. The Climate Change Adaptation Strategy Refresh 2017 is the latest vision that
projected on the adapted change in Melbourne. The adaptation has mapped out all the
possible genres that can be improved. Precipitation, Sea level, Humidity, Wind and
Temperature factors are discussed in this report along with the food, water and energy
processes, which are the key factors liable for the climatic change. The projected climate
view in 2030, 2050 and 2100 also highlighted with the distinct segregation, which showcases

Topic: Basic climate change in Melbourne and the level of social impact for that reason.
Introduction and Overview
Climate change is one of the changes that happen for long-term cases and statistical
priorities will be changed at for this reason. There are some extreme cases when the climate
changes radically, rather human is also responsible for some of the reasons. All the reasons
are directly or indirectly associated with the people (Barnett et al. 2015). Natural resources
like Sun's radiation, volcanoes, the composition of the use of land use, or the energy
imbalance situation in the earth, or the atmospheric change due to greenhouse gases all these
are important for the climatic change in any region. In this report, the concerned area of
discussion will be Melbourne.
The principles of Climate Change Adaptation Strategy Refresh 2017 project are
leadership, innovation, knowledge sharing, and multiple benefits, build a partnership
(Melbourne.vic.gov.au 2017). The major goals are green spaces for the municipality, urban
renewal projects, and culturally diverse community system, improve and defend the diverse
economy of the city, capabilities and expertise of the city.
Change in precipitation, Sea level, Humidity, Wind and Temperature factors in
Melbourne
The average level of precipitation in Melbourne is around 650mm, which is less wet
than Sydney. Australia is one of the countries that encounter low average rainfall of 419mm
and for that is the reason the rainfall trending map shows that declining amount of rain in

was in 1960 was 172mm in three days. On the other hand, April month was considered as the
rainless month in the calendar in 1923 (Melbourne.vic.gov.au 2017). This is the change in
climate that the month as well as the city encounters. The general rainfall aspect in
