Climate change impacts and implications in New Zealand: a lowland case study

The “Climate Changes, Impacts and Implications” (CCII) project was a 4-year project (2012 – 2016) designed to address the following question: What are the predicted climatic conditions and assessed/potential impacts and implications of climate variability and trends on New Zealand and its regional biophysical environment, the economy and society, at projected critical temporal steps up to 2100? The project was based on five inter-related Research Aims (RAs) to understand impacts and implications of climate change for New Zealand’s environment, economy and society

This case study presents the results of one of five case studies from the CCII project, the lowland case study. It was established to explore climate change impacts on primary productivity, the resulting land use changes and social impacts and changes in ecosystem services. Scenarios were built using the SPA (shared policy assumptions), SSP (shared socio-economic pathways) and RCP (representative concentration pathways) framework with the aim to downscale global pathways to local scale, mixing quantitative and qualitative information.

The scenarios were made in: 2016

The scenarios look out to:
