"Climate risks are hitting where Australians feel it most: at home.

One of the headline-grabbing figures in a new climate risk assessment was that
Australian property values could take a A$611 billion hit by 2050, under a 3°C
warming scenario.

That level of warming is something Australia needs plan for. As a new National
Adaptation Plan
, also released yesterday, said:

it is prudent to plan for global warming levels of 2°C to 3°C by the end of
this century, with temperatures in Australia likely to track higher than the
global average.

But what does that $611 billion hit to property values actually mean? And what
more can we do to better protect our homes – including 1.5 million of them
already at high or very high risk today?"
