Climate Adaptation Te Tai Tokerau

This page from Climate Adaptation Te Tai Tokerau summarises a 2016 NIWA report on how climate change is expected to affect Te Taitokerau out to 2090. It covers more hot days, fewer frosts, drier springs, more intense storms and a higher risk of drought, especially on the coast and in the south of the region.

It also notes the follow-up work councils did to look at how these changes could affect ecology, infrastructure, the economy and cultural values across Northland.
