NIWA’s National Climate Centre has produced a set of five A1-size maps displaying some of our new climate change projections for New Zealand.
The maps present a ‘middle-of-the-road’ picture of the future. They show the average projection from 12 global climate models for a mid-range greenhouse gas emission scenario.
