flag Australia’s 2025 environmental score was 7.4/10, with inland recovery in the north offset by marine degradation and persistent drought in the south.

flag In 2025, Australia’s environmental conditions remained above average for the fifth straight year, driven by increased rainfall in the north that revived inland waterways and vegetation, particularly in Queensland, NSW, and South Australia, though drought persisted in parts of NSW, Victoria, and western Tasmania. flag The national environmental score reached 7.4 out of 10, with Queensland leading at 8.38 and South Australia lowest at 4.78. flag Inner urban areas in Sydney and Melbourne outperformed outer suburbs due to better tree cover and fewer heat days. flag Despite terrestrial improvements, marine ecosystems faced severe stress, including widespread coral bleaching and a toxic algal bloom off South Australia. flag The World Meteorological Organisation confirmed oceans absorbed 91% of excess atmospheric heat over the past two decades, equivalent to 18 times annual global energy use.
