Extract:
As temperatures rise due to global warming, our wind, rainfall, and seasonal patterns will change. Sea levels will continue to rise and we will experience more floods, droughts and heatwaves.
Climate change is already happening, and Auckland’s current average temperature is about 1.7 degrees higher than 100 years ago. As we head into the future it is critical to understand how our environment might change so we can prepare, find opportunities, adapt, and continue to prosper.
