- Summary:
-
"Climate change is already increasing the risk of bushfires in the ACT. In the ACT the fire season is starting earlier and lasting longer. Severe fires in the ACT have already been influenced by record hot, dry conditions with significant consequences for life and property. In the future, the ACT is very likely to experience an increased number of days with extreme fire danger. It is crucial that ACT communities, emergency services, and health services prepare for the increasing severity and frequency of extreme fire conditions. This is the critical decade."--Publisher.
