Friends of the Earth International highlights the devastating impacts of climate change through the lens of simultaneous disasters in the Asia-Pacific region: catastrophic bushfires in Australia and severe flooding in Indonesia. The statement condemns the Australian government for denying the role of climate change and continuing to support coal extraction despite massive loss of life, biodiversity, and property. It calls for a global transition away from fossil fuels, increased funding for adaptation and loss and damage in developing countries, and a broader movement for climate justice.

  • As of January 6, 2020, Australian bushfires had burned nearly 5 million hectares of land, destroyed 1,500 homes, killed over one billion animals, and resulted in at least 27 human deaths.
  • The scale of the Australian fires led to the creation of their own weather systems, including fire tornadoes and fire-induced storms, and caused the world's worst air quality on Australia's east coast, with smoke reaching New Zealand and Latin America.
  • The Australian government, led by Prime Minister Scott Morrison, is criticized for refusing to recognize the role of climate change in the disasters and for maintaining support for coal extraction despite financial losses reaching 4.4 billion Australian dollars.
  • In Indonesia, specifically Jakarta, unprecedented floods and landslides caused at least 67 deaths and left approximately 35,500 people unable to return to their homes as of January 6, 2020.
