It shows Australia is continuing to warm & experience more frequent extreme weather events such as bushfires, droughts, and marine heatwaves.
But what's in Australia's future?
The report predicts:
- Global temperature rise to continue
- Sea level rise to continue
- Marine heatwaves to be more frequent and more intense
- Warmer with more heatwaves, fewer cool days

Resulting in:
- Fewer tropical cyclones, but a greater proportion of high-intensity storms
- Cool season rainfall to decline in southern and eastern Australia
- Heavy rainfall to become more intense
- Longer fire season and more dangerous fire weather

The world is on track for three degrees of global warming by 2100.
We are currently looking the impacts on Australia if the current trends are not reversed.
"The risks to Australia of a 3 °C world" report will be released early 2021.
