The direct associations between climate change and population health are well documented, as are potential co-benefits of climate action.1-6 Australia is entering a period of climatic extremes.7,8 The socially stable and agriculturally productive Northern Rivers region of New South Wales is set to experience increasing temperatures, storms, flooding and erosion.9,10 This will likely be compounded by changes in socio/political, environmental, agricultural and economic systems with resultant impacts on social and environmental determinants of health.11,12 How might a rural population of 280,000 respond?
