New Aotearoa New Zealand climate projections released

New projections have been released which show how the climate could change in Aotearoa New Zealand over the rest of this century.

The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) developed the projections, using information on New Zealand’s unique landscape and climate conditions alongside global data and science.

They have been made available publicly for the first time by the Ministry for the Environment through the government’s Climate Data Initiative, with funding from the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment.
