Increasing Awareness of Housing Impacts of Climate Change

Awareness of the impact climate change can have on Australian housing (including strata and community title housing) keeps increasing a the following information the Climate Action Network Australia includes on its website demonstrates.


The apartments and houses in which Australians live will be at risk as climate change intensifies. A combination of more intense storms, more frequent bushfires and higher sea levels will not only threaten housing directly, it will also make homes more expensive to insure, to maintain, and to keep cool. And as Australians settle in increasing numbers near the coast and in the hotter outer suburbs of our major cities, their vulnerability will increase.


There's a lot more on the website too.
