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.
