The Net Zero Commission released its Economic Impacts of Climate Change in NSW brief in June 2026 which provides clear evidence that climate change is already driving up costs and reducing incomes in New South Wales, with impacts set to intensify without action. The analysis provides a clearer empirical basis for considering climate change as a key factor shaping long-term economic resilience, productivity and fiscal capacity in NSW. In particular, the results: add jurisdictional-specific evidence to literature demonstrating the macroeconomic relevance of global temperature changes, illustrate how economic modelling that ignores climate damages risks overstating long-term economic output and highlight the importance of considering compounding impacts across sectors, regions and time horizons in fiscal and productivity analysis. This brief was completed in partnership with the UNSW Institute for Climate Risk and Response and Deloitte Access Economics.
