GLOBAL RAMIFICATIONS OF THE AUSTRALIAN WILDFIRE2
Introduction
In this paper, I will argue that the global ramifications of the Australian wildfires
because there will be an economic impact and the assessment of the impact on the different
parts of the society. Wildfires impacted many different countries around the world. Australia,
as a geographical location and the shaping of the continent, owes it to the bush fire and the

event of the year, which took the shape of the most significant wildfires in history. The
different climatic reasons, along with human interaction and influence on the changing

infrastructure, and even economy. The paper will trace the destruction caused by the Wildfire
and the different parts of the society that has been affected and will be bearing the cost of the
Wildfire for a long time to come.

cost of millions of animals and plants live, loss of infrastructure, and above all, loss of human

(Gramlin, 2020). Now that the fire is over, the country is nowhere near equipped to fight the
