Climate-fuelled disasters are pushing up insurance premiums and food prices, and forcing expensive repairs to buildings and other infrastructure. In Question Time, I asked Treasurer Jim Chalmers whether Treasury has assessed how climate change is contributing to Australia's high inflation and dragging down productivity. Research from Dr Timothy Neal at UNSW has estimated climate-related costs could amount to nearly 18% of NSW’s GDP alone. The Treasurer acknowledged the growing pressure on supply chains and prices, and said he would continue working with me and other MPs on this challenge. If the Albanese Government wants to tackle inflation and boost productivity, it must understand the full economic cost of climate change and invest in climate adaptation and resilience.
