'Human activities, principally through emissions of greenhouse gases, have unequivocally caused global warming, with global surface temperature reaching 1.1°C above 1850–1900 in 2011–2020. Global greenhouse gas emissions have continued to increase, with unequal historical and ongoing contributions arising from unsustainable energy use, land use and land-use change, lifestyles and patterns of consumption and production across regions, between and within countries, and among individuals high confidence).'

The ASLCG [Australian Security Leaders Climate Group] exists to reframe the narrative, making climate an immediate security and immediate priority.' 'Higher temperatures; more intense extreme weather events, including heatwaves, cyclones and wildfires; changes to local climates threatening water and food supply; and rising sea levels are all examples of major threats affecting our global and national security. These accelerating climate impacts are expected to increase the risk of civil unrest, conflicts and fuel mass refugee movement within our region over the coming decades.'
