The report highlights that Australia is already experiencing more frequent and severe climate hazardssuch as heatwaves, bushfires, floods, and sea level risewhich are projected to intensify under global warming scenarios of +1.5°C, +2.0°C, and +3.0°C. Coastal communities, regional and remote populations, and Indigenous communities are particularly vulnerable due to infrastructure gaps, socioeconomic disadvantage, and cultural ties to land and water. By 2090, over 3 million people may live in high-risk coastal zones, and critical infrastructure, health systems, and supply chains will face escalating disruptions. The report emphasizes the need for transformational adaptationsuch as managed retreat, resilient infrastructure, inclusive governance, and integration of Indigenous knowledgewhile warning that current adaptation efforts are fragmented and underfunded. It calls for coordinated national planning, improved data, and long-term investment to reduce exposure, build resilience, and safeguard Australia's people, ecosystems, and economy in a rapidly changing climate
