What is climate change and why does it matter?
Effects of climate change
•	 Permanent rise in global average temperature.
•	 More frequent and more extreme weather events.
•	 Rise in sea levels (estimated 2 metres by 2100).
Effects on human life
•	 Significant parts of the world made uninhabitable due to
extreme temperatures.
•	 Death and disruption caused by extreme weather events.
•	 Disruption to food and water supplies.
•	 Significant parts of the world made uninhabitable due to
flooding (sea level rise).
•	 Increase in illnesses and diseases.
•	 Mass migration.
•	 Significant disruption to the global economy.
•	 Massive costs of adaptation.

All new family and multi-unit low-rise
housing emits zero GHGs, thus improving
air quality and saving $44 million in annual
energy bills.
Introduced congestion charges to
eliminate 25 million car journeys into the
city centre in just three years.
Regional institutions collectively purchased
a long-term renewable energy plan from
a newly built wind farm, that has saved
96,800 tonnes of GHG emissions per year,
as well as generating 150 new jobs.
