New IPCC report shows Australia is at real risk from climate change, with impacts worsening, future risks high, and wide-ranging adaptation needed

These are placing even greater pressure on our ability to respond. This is the findings of the 6th Assessment Report on Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation.
