AB  - Heatwaves are one of the most important climate-related risks for Australians.

The extreme heat in Melbourne that plagued the 2014 Australian Open Tennis Tournament and the record-breaking heat in large areas of Queensland this summer reminded us of the risks that heatwaves pose. Coming on the heels of a record-breaking summer of 2012/2013, this summer’s heat is part of a longer- term trend towards hotter weather. The link between climate change and more extreme heatwaves is clear.
