Climate change is no longer just a concept.
Climate change was recognised as a signicant challenge in ‘Strategic Directions 4 — for the Western Australian Sport and Recreation Industry (2006–2010)’. The document identified the following challenge: Sport and recreation interests must contribute to the assessment of the implication of climate change and its consequences, especially as they affect the active lifestyles of Western Australians.
There is now sufïcient evidence available to governments and the community to seriously consider the implications of our changing weather patterns.
