Risk Assessment Proposal

The ASLCG is calling for a Whole-Of-Nation Climate and Security Risk Assessment for Australia.

As ex-Service members and experienced practitioners of national and international security, we recognise that climate change is a fundamental threat to all Australians.

Admiral Chris Barrie AC (RETD)

Former Chief of the Defence Force

The first duty of Government must be the safety and security of its citizens. Today, the Government is failing to address the growing impacts of climate change and therefore failing to protect its own people.

Air Vice-Marshal John Blackburn AO (RETD)

Former Deputy Chief of the Royal Australian Air Force

With some of our closest allies already acting on climate security risks, Australia is being left behind. We call on the Australian Government to urgently undertake a comprehensive Whole-of-Nation Climate and Security Risk Assessment.

Cheryl Durrant

Former Director of Preparedness and Mobilisation, Australian Department of Defence

This critical review is a key step to fill the major strategic gap that currently exists in Australia. It is only through understanding the risks posed by climate change that we can then mitigate these clear and present dangers.

Major Michael Thomas (RETD)

Former Major in the Australian Army

It is only through fully understanding the degree of risks posed by climate change that we can form sound solutions to match the speed and scale of the crisis.

Ian Dunlop

Former Chair of the Australian Coal Association
