CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY　

Changes to Australia’s climate are being accelerated by human activity. It has been projected that:

• average temperatures will continue to increase with fewer cold extremes and longer and more intense heatwaves
• annual rainfall will decrease while extreme rainfall events that lead to flooding are likely to become more intense
• our region will experience more frequent and extreme fire danger days
• sea levels will continue to rise throughout and beyond the 21^st Century with our oceans warming and become more acidic.

It is widely acknowledged that action is required to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

POLICY STATEMENT
