Australia has entered the ‘era of climate consequences’, with the vast majority of Australian households already impacted by climate change. Climate pollution from the burning of coal, oil and gas is fuelling increasingly severe bushfires, floods, heatwaves and destructive storms. As a result, the overwhelming majority (84%) of Australians report being directly affected by at least one climate-fuelled disaster since 2019.

Summer hols, here we go…So what’s the plan? Drive our electric car from Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast and back, taking in the epic Victorian Alpine Country and stunning NSW-Queensland coastline and hinterland. That’s just a casual 4,300km round trip.

Climate change impacts every part of our lives – from our health, wellbeing and the safety of our communities, to the stability and security of the financial and economic systems on which we depend. Unless we take strong action this decade to address its drivers by rapidly cutting emissions, Australians face escalating and compounding risks now and for decades to come.

Unless we take strong action this decade to address its drivers by rapidly cutting emissions, Australians face escalating and compounding risks now and for decades to come. Australia’s Council of Financial Regulators has officially recognised climate change posing a financial risk since 2017.

Description Right now, Australia’s environment is under grave threat from climate change - facing some of the greatest risks in human history. Accelerating climate change is also turbocharging other threats like habitat destruction and proliferation of invasive species. Collectively, this is pushing many natural places around the country to the brink of ecological collapse.
