Abstract:
This lecture begins with a comparison between the Paris target of constraining heating to 1.5 °C and a ‘current policy commitment’ projection of 3 degrees. The consequences of 3 degrees of heating were analyzed in a report prepared for the Australian Academy of Science by an expert panel of 14 mostly natural scientists, but including one economist (me).
The report focuses on the consequences of 3 °C of global warming for the following four areas of importance to Australia’s future:
ecosystems,
food production,
cities and towns,
health and well-being
