A port in a storm: Climate change and Homeless service organisations

Danielle Every, John Richardson, Scott Hanson-Easey, Elizabeth Osborn

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

As climate change continues to raise the intensity and frequency of storms and waves, bushfires and floods, homeless services and service users are increasingly affected. A vulnerability to climate change is not only a physical risk created by a fluctuating and more severe climate, but one shaped by social, economic, political, institutional and technological inequalities. Secure, safe and affordable housing is a prerequisite for people's wellbeing and inclusion, however it is also a prerequisite for coping with and adapting to climate change.
