The Australian government is planning for rising sea levels. In 2011, the Australian Government released a National Climate Change Adaptation Framework, which includes strategies for adapting to rising sea levels. These strategies include:

- Protecting coastal communities: The Australian government is investing in infrastructure to protect coastal communities from rising sea levels, such as sea walls, levees, and flood gates.

- Managed retreat: In some cases, it may be necessary to relocate communities that are at risk of being inundated by rising sea levels. The Australian government is working with state and local governments to identify these communities and develop plans for managed retreat.

- Building resilience: The Australian government is also working to build the resilience of coastal ecosystems to rising sea levels. This includes restoring wetlands and mangroves, which can help to protect coastlines from erosion.

The Australian government is committed to taking action on climate change, including rising sea levels. The strategies outlined above are just some of the ways that the Australian government is working to protect its coastal communities and ecosystems from the impacts of rising sea levels.
