Research finds Australian bushfires should change where and how we live
Climate change-driven extreme weather events, including devastating Australian bushfires, have created the urgent need for a new approach to planning and building in high fire risk areas and a shift to climate-resilient towns and cities.
Published in the prestigious ‘Nature Urban Sustainability’, research co-author John Curtin Distinguished Professor Peter Newman from the Curtin University Sustainability Policy Institute said climate change had increased the threat of bushfires and other climate change issues driving an urgent need to revise the location and design of settlements.
“Bushfires have become more frequent and more intense as climate change has created unprecedented conditions around the world, such as Australia recording both its hottest and driest year on record in 2019,” Professor Newman said.
