Australia's first climate risk assessment, explained

The Government has released its first assessment of the risks posed by climate change across Australia. The report paints a concerning picture, with predictions about what the future could look like if rising temperatures are not curbed – including a 450% increase in heat-related deaths in some parts of the country.

Today, we're breaking down what this assessment found, what these findings mean for Australia's future, and how experts say we need to move forward.
