Australia's population will continue to grow over time but at slower rates than in the past. A growing population will help manage pressures of the ageing population but will put pressure on our infrastructure, services and environment. This will require continued planning and investment ahead of time.
The warming will likely cause a number of key trends:
Accelerated sea level rise and worsening coastal erosion. Increased weather intensity including Category 6 cyclones. More frequent and extreme bushfires. A greater chance of extreme flood events.
Australia's economic recovery is leading the world. More Australians are in work than ever before and the unemployment rate is now forecast to reach 3¾ per cent in 2022, the lowest rate in close to 50 years.

It's one of the fastest moving plates if you look at it horizontally. It moves at around seven centimetres per year, she said. “But vertically there is a problem. Historical data suggests that it should be uplifting by about a millimetre per year, but the data that we've got suggests it's sinking.
Australia is now home to 2.2 million millionaires, according to a new study. Half of all Australians in 2021 had more than $400,000 in wealth. It means we have the highest median wealth of all the countries studied.
Australia performs well in many dimensions of well-being relative to other countries in the Better Life Index. Australia outperforms the average in income, jobs, education, health, environmental quality, social connections, civic engagement and life satisfaction.

Australia's 2030 Emission Reduction Target. The Australian Government will reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 26–28 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. Our target is a step up from Australia's current target to reduce emissions to five per cent below 2000 levels by 2020.
Australia and New Zealand's sea levels will rise at rates higher than the global average. There'll be a 50% increase in bushfires – the Black Summer Bushfires were just the beginning. Floods follow fires, so those heavy rainfalls brought by La Niña will become the norm.
Australia's national climate projections at Climate change in Australia indicate that over coming decades Australia will experience: Further increase in temperatures, with more extremely hot days and fewer extremely cool days.

All of the Earth's continents float on tectonic plates, which glide slowly over a plastic-like layer of the upper mantle. And the plate that Australia sits on has been moving relatively fast, about 2.7 inches a year (northward and with a slight clockwise rotation).
At that point, the continents will merge and the Pacific Ocean will close, said the study, which was published in the journal National Science Review. According to the scientists' findings, the change will cause Australia to collide with Eurasia and move toward the Americas.
Australia is a large country, which can lead to feeling isolated. This is because the country's major cities are spread far apart, making it difficult to leave your town for a day, or even a weekend trip. If you enjoy living abroad for the travel opportunities, Australia may not be right for you.
