According to a report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, it has been found that Indigenous Australians are facing an unbalanced harm from climate change.

The second report by the IPCC, which is due to be released in next March, warns that the change in climate patterns can freeze coastal property worth $226bn due to sea-level rising.

This can result in a number of heat wave-related deaths in Sydney by the end of the century. The report also says that by 2100, the native people can face major challenges from heat stress, extreme weather events and heightened rates of disease.

The reports say little adaptation of Indigenous communities to climate change is evident till date. The heat wave is likely to affect the Australian population, especially older people, and cause heat-related deaths and hospitalizations in the region.

The number of deaths due to heat wave is expected to rise from 2.5 deaths for every 100,000 people to 7.4 deaths for every 100,000 people by 2100, in Sydney.

Also water and food related diseases are expected to increase up to 870,000 new cases of bacterial gastroenteritis by 2100.

The IPCC also claims that Australia is going to suffer financial as well as human loss due to the rise in sea-level.
