- Summary:
-
"Climate change is already increasing the risk of bushfires in New South Wales (NSW) and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). In NSW and the ACT the fire season is starting earlier and lasting longer. Dangerous fire weather has been extending into Spring and Autumn. Recent severe fires in NSW and the ACT have been influenced by record hot, dry conditions. The total economic costs of NSW and ACT bushfires are estimated to be approximately $100 million per year. By around the middle of the century these costs will more than double. In the future, NSW and the ACT are very likely to experience an increased number of days with dangerous fire weather. Communities, emergency services and health services must keep preparing. This is the critical decade to protect Australians."--Publisher.
