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.
Ocean acidification
Increasing carbon dioxide emissions is causing oceans to become more acidic. This impacts marine life and important industries such as oyster farming.
Snow
Climate change has been reducing NSW snow depth since the late 1950s. Less snow is impacting alpine wildlife, winter tourism and hydroelectricity generation.
Oceans
Climate change is changing ocean currents and sea surface temperatures around Australia. This is causing marine heatwaves and impacts on marine life.
