Australian National Climate Risk Assessment.

The first draft of the Australian National Climate Risk Assessment, seemed to bypass the media.

It identified identified 56 nationally significant climate risks within 7 out of the 8 systems it looked at. 11 of these risks were identified as being of severe impact.

The priority risks cover

environmental stress;
agriculture and food;
outback living;
health and social support;
infrastructure;
defence and national security;
communities and settlement;
water security;
supply chains;
economy, trade and finance; and
governance.

the Government is asking for responses…..
