Otago’s climate is changing. These changes will affect our people, our environments, our biodiversity and our economy.
It’s important to understand the potential impacts so we can build Otago’s climate resilience.
Understanding the changes
In the coming years and decades, we can expect higher temperatures, more extreme and unpredictable weather events, increased coastal erosion, and sea level and groundwater rises.
Different areas of Otago will experience different impacts.
