  • The risk of catastrophic loss, both financially and physically, will drive up insurance premiums.
  • NSW’s so-called Black Summer bushfires of 2029-20 cost $4.9 billion.
  • Insurers have paid our $13 billion in climate-related claims in NSW.
  • The combined value of coastal properties exposed to coastal erosion damage is $25 billion.

  • Some regions will see no change at all. But for many, the situation will worsen during the next 30 years.
