Description:
Growth in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is changing global climate, including in New South Wales. Even if global negotiations succeed in achieving deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, further change to the NSW climate and biophysical environment is inevitable. Over the coming years, the state is likely to experience higher temperatures, altered rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and changes to natural hazards like bushfires, flooding and heatwaves (DECCW 2010a).
