A CSIRO study to prepare regional climate change scenarios for use in initial assessment of risks - relates to the publication "Climate Change Impacts and Risk Mangement: A Guide for Government and Business". Specifically, scenarios were needed for 2030 for changes in: average annual temperature, rainfall, potential evaporation and sea-level; average daily extremes of temperature, rainfall, cyclone intensity and fire danger. average annual solar radiation and humidity, and extreme daily wind-speed. In this report, the scenarios have been simplified. The ranges of uncertainty have been converted to a low scenario and a high scenario. Data are presented in a table for each of ten regions, with a non-technical description of potential impacts by the year 2030.
