澳大利亚城市面临气候变化和城市无计划无计划扩展造成的越来越多的林火风险,对易燃地区的数百万人造成威胁。 Australian cities face rising bushfire risks from climate change and urban sprawl, threatening millions in fire-prone areas.

包括悉尼、墨尔本和堪培拉在内的澳大利亚城市由于气候变化而面临不断上升的城市野火风险,气温上升、长期干旱和强风增加了火灾危险。 Australian cities including Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra face escalating urban bushfire risks due to climate change, with rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, and stronger winds increasing fire danger. 现在,有690多万澳大利亚人生活在火灾易发地区——比2000年增加了65%——这是城市向灌木林地区扩张所驱动的。 Over 6.9 million Australians now live in fire-prone areas—65% more than in 2000—driven by urban expansion into bushland zones. 类似加利福尼亚州圣安娜风般的热干内陆风可以迅速蔓延火焰,使消防工作复杂化。 Hot, dry inland winds similar to California’s Santa Ana winds can rapidly spread flames, complicating firefighting. 过去发生的火灾,包括2019-20年黑夏和最近在塔斯马尼亚发生的事件,都突出了对郊区日益增长的威胁。 Past fires, including those during the 2019–20 Black Summer and recent events in Tasmania, have highlighted growing threats to suburbs. 像悉尼的Bob Sudharshan Ratnarajah这样的居民, 曾经不知道城市火灾风险, 现在害怕灾难性的火灾。 Residents like Bob Sudharshan Ratnarajah in Sydney, once unaware of urban fire risks, now fear catastrophic blazes. 专家敦促政府在气候变化方面采取更有力的行动,加强备灾工作,特别是在扩展外围郊区,因为那里的新居民可能缺乏对火灾危险的认识。 Experts urge stronger government action on climate change and improved preparedness, especially in expanding outer suburbs where new residents may lack awareness of fire dangers.
