“…Australia’s failure to play its part in the mitigation of climate change and to adequately prepare for its myriad impacts is now costing lives. As powerfully expressed by Norman Frank Jupurrurla, a Wumpurrarni (First Nations) man of Tennant Creek (Northern Territory), “when it comes to climate change we should all be strong voices working together — for healthy country, healthy communities, healthy children” 106 …”

“…As powerfully expressed by Norman Frank Jupurrurla, a Wumpurrarni (First Nations) man of Tennant Creek (Northern Territory), "when it comes to climate change we should all be strong voices working together -for healthy country, healthy communities, healthy children". 106 This 2022 MJA-Lancet Countdown report has also stressed the importance of a mental health and climate change in Australia indicator, which we plan to include in our 2023 report. Similarly, our exploration of health and climate change in New Zealand reveals similarities but also important differences between Australia and New Zealand with respect to health and climate change.…”

Summary The MJA–Lancet Countdown on health and climate change in Australia was established in 2017 and produced its first national assessment in 2018 and annual updates in 2019, 2020 and 2021. It examines five broad domains: climate change impacts, exposures and vulnerability; adaptation, planning and resilience for health; mitigation actions and health co‐benefits; economics and finance; and public and political engagement. In this, the fifth year of the MJA–Lancet Countdown, we track progress on an extensive suite of indicators across these five domains, accessing and presenting the latest data and further refining and developing our analyses. Within just two years, Australia has experienced two unprecedented national catastrophes — the 2019–2020 summer heatwaves and bushfires and the 2021–2022 torrential rains and flooding. Such events are costing lives and displacing tens of thousands of people. Further, our analysis shows that there are clear signs that Australia’s health emergency management capacity substantially decreased in 2021. We find some signs of progress with respect to health and climate change. The states continue to lead the way in health and climate change adaptation planning, with the Victorian plan being published in early 2022. At the national level, we note progress in health and climate change research funding by the National Health and Medical Research Council. We now also see an acceleration in the uptake of electric vehicles and continued uptake of and employment in renewable energy. However, we also find Australia’s transition to renewables and zero carbon remains unacceptably slow, and the Australian Government’s continuing failure to produce a national climate change and health adaptation plan places the health and lives of Australians at unnecessary risk today, which does not bode well for the future.

“…Quilty and Jupurrurla give insight into shared Indigenous/non-Indigenous stories about climate change. 4 Skinner's photograph of plastic detritus from one child's hospital lunch 5 is a metaphor for This Civilisation is Finished. 6 We must guide civilisation safely through the bottleneck of climate change and species mass extinction, driven by the twin challenges of over-consumption and overpopulation.Yet guiding this sustainability journey requires enlightenment about our individual and communal carbon footprints from health care.…”
