The impacts of climate change have directly affected me with my recent move to Sydney and the weather that the city was subjected to earlier in 2022, and is continuing to be subjected to. Unfortunately as a consequence of the turbulent weather, the roofing on my house failed and my house flooded which posed an extensive financial burden on myself and my housemates as many of our household items were ruined as a result.
