Water resources
Find out how climate change is impacting NSW's water resources. Increased temperatures and changing rainfall patterns are reducing water availability in parts of NSW. groundwater
Natural environment
Climate change is one of the biggest threats to biodiversity and is happening too quickly for many natural environments and species to adapt.
Hunter
Explore the key aspects of the Hunter that are vulnerable to climate impacts, along with challenges and opportunities to adapt.
Illawarra Shoalhaven
Explore the key aspects of the Illawarra that are vulnerable to climate impacts, along with challenges and opportunities to adapt.
Riverina Murray
Explore the key aspects of the Riverina Murray region that are vulnerable to climate impacts, along with challenges and opportunities to adapt.
New England and North West
Explore the key aspects of the New England and North West region that are vulnerable to climate impacts, along with challenges and opportunities to adapt.
Estuaries
Climate change is causing estuary water to warm and acidify. Rising sea levels will flood low-lying areas and threaten developments near NSW estuaries.
Heatwaves
Climate change is projected to make heatwaves in NSW more common, more intense, and last longer. Heatwaves kill more Australians than any other natural hazard.
Snow
Climate change has been reducing NSW snow depth since the late 1950s. Less snow is impacting alpine wildlife, winter tourism and hydroelectricity generation.
