The Australian environment ranges from virtually pristine Antarctic territory and rainforests to degraded industrial areas of major cities. Forty distinct ecoregions have been identified across the Australian mainland and islands. Central Australia has a very dry climate. The interior has a number of deserts while most of the coastal areas are populated. Northern Australia experiences tropical cyclones while much of the country is prone to periodic drought. This dry and warm environment and exposure to cyclones, makes Australia particularly vulnerable to climate change -- with some areas already experiencing increases in wildfires and fragile ecosystems.

  • L'environnement en Australie est l'environnement (ensemble des éléments - biotiques ou abiotiques - qui entourent un individu ou une espèce et dont certains contribuent directement à subvenir à ses besoins) du pays Australie, pays d'Océanie. L'Australie est le sixième plus grand pays au monde par la superficie. Le territoire rassemble des espaces désertiques et des écosystèmes très riches en biodiversité, comme la grande barrière de corail classée au patrimoine mondial, les forêts tempérées de Tasmanie et le sud-ouest de l'Australie méditerranéen, point chaud de biodiversité. Les ressources en charbon sont importantes. Elles fournissent la majorité de l’électricité du pays, qui est par ailleurs le premier exportateur mondial de charbon. Le pays a ainsi un bilan carbone par habitant élevé. (fr)
