100 Year Forecast | The Spinoff

See what the next century could look like for Aotearoa with this five-part video series. Each episode dives into a different part of climate change, from rising temperatures and changing rainfall, to floods that could impact your home, farm, or hapū.

You’ll hear about what warmer weather means for rural life, changes in rivers and water supply, increasing flood risks, and how our native plants and animals could be affected. The final part looks at practical solutions and what Aotearoa can do to adapt and protect our whenua and whānau.
