Parts of #VIC, #WA, #NSW, #SA and the #NT face above-average #bushfire risk this summer. Dry winter and spring conditions have primed the land to burn, and rising temperatures are adding to the danger.

It's important to stay alert and prepare a bushfire plan even if you live in a lower risk region.

Science has provided compelling evidence of what is happening to the climate and what needs to be done to avoid disaster.

The challenge is now a social one.

Since 2018, the Hub has reached millions with factual climate content, delivering social research, knowledge, and ideas.
