Snow
Climate change has been reducing NSW snow depth since the late 1950s. Less snow is impacting alpine wildlife, winter tourism and hydroelectricity generation.
Sea level rise
Climate change is causing sea levels to rise. Modelling shows that over 8000 NSW addresses could be affected by coastal erosion by 2100.
Coasts
Climate change is projected to cause increased coastal erosion and permanent flooding in low-lying coastal areas of NSW.
Soils
Climate change impacts the health of NSW's soils by causing changes to soil erosion, organic carbon, nutrients and alkalinity (pH).
Weather and oceans
Learn how climate change is affecting NSW's weather and oceans – from higher temperatures and more extreme weather events to rising sea levels.
My region
How will climate change affect your local region? NSW is a large and varied landscape, so climate change will impact different regions in different ways.
Biodiversity
Many plants and animals cannot adapt quickly enough to climate change. In NSW, over 1000 plants, animals and ecological communities are at risk of extinction.
