My question is to the Treasurer. Climate change is projected to cost the economy up to $76 billion per year by 2060, making it one of the biggest threats to national productivity. The government has not released the national risk assessment nor the ONI report and is continuing to approve projects that will make this economic risk worse. You did not have adaptation or resilience at the table when it came to the Economic Reform Roundtable. What can you tell the Australian people about the financial exposure to climate risk of the economy?
