Sea level rise threatens more than a quarter of a million properties as bill surges to $855b

"Climate change means Australia's love of the coast is facing a multi-billion-dollar reckoning, research suggests, as rising seas threaten to turn its prized coastal lifestyle into a question of who will foot the bill: property owners or governments."

"Australia could face damage costs of more than $850 billion, with more than $274 billion going to property losses and $580 billion spent on land-use damage."

"We keep warming the planet … so you get more sea level rise, you get higher tides, higher king tides, higher maximum tides," the professor of environmental economics and biosecurity at the University of Melbourne said." >>

As Australia’s sea levels rise, safe land is vanishing and costs are huge

"Climate Council forecasts more than 267,000 coastal properties will be damaged by flooding by 2100, costing hundreds of billions of dollars."

"Kompas said the costs – an estimated $274.3bn in property losses and $580.7bn in land use damages – were a conservative estimate and did not take into account the additional impacts of coastal erosion or significant ice sheet melt."

"Kompas said that while reducing greenhouse gas emissions to limit global heating was of paramount importance, “we have to start planning and responding and adapting now. The first thing, of course, is not to build on flood plains, which is common still.” >>
