Australia is ill-prepared for sea level rise, human displacement and other security risks posed by climate change, warns a group of former national security leaders.

Former security leaders warn major threat going ignored Former Defence chief Chris Barrie said Australia needed to reorder its foreign policy priorities, with traditional geopolitical risks set to be displaced by climate change.

Australia has put all its eggs in the AUKUS basket, risking entanglement in a war with China, while the far greater threat to Australians’ security is being ignored," he said.
