NARCliM guidance and resources

Understanding and planning for future climate change requires access to trusted information and tools. But climate projections and their associated products are complex. We’ve developed guidance to help users understand the context and appropriate use of the data produced by the NARCliM project.

NARCliM case studies

Explore this series of case studies highlighting the journey towards effectively applying NARCliM data for a range of sectors and climate adaptation planning and research activities.

NARCliM infographics

To increase understanding and the reach of NARCliM research and development, a series of infographics were developed covering core topics including:  

NARCliM2.0 Regional Climate Change Snapshots

The regional climate change snapshots provide a concise presentation of the latest climate projections and are provided to cover NSW, the ACT, and 10 NSW planning regions.

NARCliM2.0 regional climate change snapshots

Released in 2024, these regional climate change snapshots were created from NARCliM2.0 data. For the information on the region and adaptation opportunities, visit the My region page. 

Technical information

Technical reports and specifications for each NARCliM generation can be found on the NSW Climate Data Portal.

Previous NARCliM products

NARCliM is an iterative project, releasing new generations of regional climate data as the science advances and new climate models become available. Some NARCliM informed products, including the information on the AdaptNSW website, are updated when the latest generation of NARCliM data is released.

You can access the following archived information which is based on previous generations of NARCliM. 

NARCliM1.0 regional climate change snapshots

Developed in 2014, these regional climate change snapshots were created from the first generation of NARCliM data (NARCliM1.0). These snapshots were published on the AdaptNSW website until 2024, when they were replaced by updated snapshots based on NARCliM2.0. For the most recent snapshots, visit the My region page.
