About Climate Risk in Australian Capital Territory
ACT suburbs face bushfire risk from the surrounding Namadgi National Park and Brindabella Ranges, with extreme heat events increasing in frequency. The 2003 Canberra bushfires remain a defining event for the territory's risk profile, with ongoing ember attack risk for interface suburbs.
ClimateNest suburb assessments are built using Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) historical hazard data, CSIRO future climate projections under SSP2-4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios, state-specific hazard overlays from emergency services and planning authorities, and actuarial data. Every assessment includes current hazard scores (0–100), projected scores for 2030 and 2050, local geographic evidence, insurance outlook, and property owner recommendations.
