Climate change poses a significant threat worldwide. A new report from Australia highlights the seriousness of this situation.

The 72-page report indicates that not only coastal areas but also inland regions will be affected by climate disasters. Events like floods, hurricanes, and heatwaves will become more frequent.

Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen emphasized that if temperatures rise by 3°C, heat-related deaths in Sydney could increase by 400%. This situation will strain the healthcare system.

It is predicted that by 2050, 1.5 million people will be at risk. Northern Australia and the outer suburbs of major cities are among the most threatened areas.

There is also a risk of biodiversity loss. Coral reefs are facing higher rates of bleaching and loss.

The government has published a national adaptation plan against the climate crisis. An ambitious emissions target for 2035 will be announced soon.
