Albanese warns Australia faces worse floods and fires without climate action
PM says repeated disasters will worsen without climate action. Communities cannot rely on resilience alone.
Anthony Albanese spoke at the New York Climate Week summit. He said Australia will face more severe floods and fires unless the world cuts emissions.
Another big disaster will surely come. It is only a matter of when.
Communities and emergency responders have shown great courage. But their resilience cannot keep carrying the burden alone.
Record temperatures in Europe are happening now. Extreme heat and bushfires tied to El Niño will make things worse.
The Prime Minister said nations cannot ignore their responsibility or the cost of inaction. He called for urgent global climate action.
