The Australians at risk of rising sea levels

One and a half million Australians living in coastal areas are at risk from rising sea levels by 2050, a landmark climate report has warned. Australia's first National Climate Risk Assessment predicted more frequent and severe climate hazards like floods, cyclones, heatwaves, droughts and bushfires. Our BBC climate reporter explains the report's significance and we hear from two Australians living on the coast at the moment.
