Climate change is supercharging our atmosphere and leading to more frequent and severe extreme weather events, such as bushfires, heatwaves, flooding and cyclones. Australians are paying the price in costs to their health, lost lives and livelihoods.

We’ve produced this communication guide so you can accurately explain the link between extreme weather events and climate change.
