How to talk about climate change and bushfire risk

Australians care deeply about protecting their homes, families and communities. Begin conversations over shared values, such as the importance of keeping communities safer, a love of the outdoors, and protecting our favourite places.

There’s no single “right” way to have these conversations, but in this guide, we offer tips to help: 

1. Find common values.
2. Be armed with facts.
3. Empathy is key.
4. Avoid false debates.

We’ve also provided a myth-busting guide to help you separate fact from fiction on climate-fuelled bushfire risk, with evidence-based responses you can use if misinformation arises.
