Australia's first National Climate Risk Assessment, released by the Australian Climate Service partnership (Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO, ABS, Geoscience Australia), synthesises climate risk information across sectors and regions to inform the Government's National Adaptation Plan. The assessment acknowledges Australia is experiencing more frequent and severe extreme weather events, with impacts affecting society broadly. It identifies who and what faces climate risk and to what extent, aiming to support preparedness and action by understanding risks to people, communities, economy, natural environment, infrastructure, and essential services. The assessment complements state and territory climate risk assessments and provides national-scale context while noting local high-resolution data should guide planning. The document emphasises that understanding, monitoring, and planning for evolving climate risks requires ongoing adjustment and cross-societal engagement. No specific quantified environmental data, EPBC Act decisions, or regulatory determinations are included in this executive summary excerpt.
