New Zealand’s National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) will lead research efforts to identify climate trends over the next 90 years.
Announced on 3 October, the four-year, NZ$7.2 million project, to be jointly led by NIWA and the government-owned Landcare Research, will study potential climate change impacts on New Zealand’s economy, environment and society.
The research findings should help policymakers “climate proof” the nation, said a NIWA statement.
