Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland are among the top 10% of global jurisdictions most at risk from the physical impacts of climate change, according to a new report ranking the physical climate risk of every state, province and territory in the world released today by The Cross Dependency Initiative (XDI).
The city of Perth has the best weather/climate in Australia. The city enjoys a temperate Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summers and mild but wet winters. Perth is also the sunniest capital city in Australia and is considered one of the hottest experiencing over 250+ days of sunny blue skies.
A new book examining the forces shaping the future of global migration forecasts Michigan as the best place in the world to live in 2050. How can the world collaborate to minimize temperature rise to save as many lives as possible?
A UK study rated Tasmania one of the best places to survive a collapse in society. Scientists say Tasmania's climate, agricultural resources and electricity supply make it an ideal refuge should "things go pear-shaped"
The southern coast, which includes Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, has the best climate by far, with mild winters (June to August) between 41°F and 50°F (5°C and 10°C) and warm summers (December to February) between 77°F and 86°F (25°C and 30°C).
Measuring vulnerability by country is difficult and inherently flawed. Climate change is felt by people not nations. The Notre Dame Institute judges Switzerland to be the least climate vulnerable country and Niger to be the most vulnerable.
Current outlook for Australia
the time in drought will increase across southern Australia. snow depths will decline. extreme rainfall events will become more intense. sea levels will rise.
Three major economic centres are set to become uninhabitable by the end of the century, with global temperatures on track to warm by 2.7C. Darwin, Broome and Port Hedland are predicted to be pushed outside the “human climate niche” — that is, the temperature and humidity conditions in which humans can survive.
New research suggests that, if the planet keeps warming at current rates, much of the top third of Australia could soon be too hot for people to live in.
Considerable development along the NSW coast is at risk from inundation and erosion as a result of sea level rise. Around 80% of the NSW population live within 50 km of the coast. The highest risk occurs close to estuaries, where a lot of development has occurred in low-lying areas.
“Queensland's known as the Sunshine State. All those rays and the laid-back lifestyle might be among the reasons why it's Australia's happiest state,” Bayliss said.
Australia has climbed just four places to rank 55th out of 63 in this year's global Climate Change Performance Index 2023, launched at COP27 in Egypt, a slight improvement on last year's where it came in dead last for climate policy.
Although it can rain, Adelaide is the driest and least humid of all of Australia's major cities. The summer is definitely not humid and rainfall is sparse. Average temperatures are 29 Celsius/84 Fahrenheit.
Where is the warmest place in Australia in winter? Australia's hottest winter place is Drysdale River National Park near Kalumburu. Having said that, if you are looking for another place then, Sydney enjoys a Mediterranean climate with sunny days all year round.
They found the winners to be the West North Central, Pacific, and Mountain regions. For “West North Central,” they include Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas. That region is poised for the brightest future according to Business Insider.
According to Arcadis, cities in North America tend to outperform other world cities when it comes to water quality. In fact, Toronto, Chicago and Philadelphia rank in the top three North American and global cities for ensuring a healthy and clean water supply.
While the effects of human activities on Earth's climate to date are irreversible on the timescale of humans alive today, every little bit of avoided future temperature increases results in less warming that would otherwise persist for essentially forever.
