The Climate Change Housing System Vulnerability (CCHSV) Index was developed as part of the research project
Measuring climate change vulnerability in Australia's housing system
The project is one of four within an AHURI-funded Inquiry examining how Australia's housing system can be made more resilient to a changing climate, led by Professor Nicole Gurran at The University of Sydney
This Inquiry program measures climate vulnerability across Australia's housing system. Combining insights from resilience science, architecture, property economics and planning, Inquiry research projects map household vulnerability, design technical solutions for making dwellings more climate resilient, identify who pays for transition, and define policy pathways to a resilient housing system.
Other projects in the Inquiry include:
Insurance, finance and the cost of housing resilience. Who pays?
Led by: Dr Stephen Glackin, Swinburne University of Technology
Planning for a climate resilient housing system
Led by: Dr Catherine Gilbert, The University of Sydney
Strengthening Australian homes against climate risks
Led by: Dr Özgür Göçer, The University of Sydney
