A factsheet outlining why large areas of Northern Australia could become unliveable within decades without urgent climate action.
The Federal Government’s Climate Risk Assessment finds that much of Northern Australia may become unliveable within the next 45 years if global temperatures rise by around 3°C.
Under this scenario, parts of the NT would experience extreme heat conditions currently found in some of the hottest regions on Earth, posing serious risks to health, infrastructure, food systems, and daily life.
This summary outlines the projected impacts and highlights the urgent need to reduce emissions and prevent further warming.
