Many of our climate impacts are more subtle, with many events now having a climate change fingerprint on them, which may not cause the droughts, fires and storms, but makes them more likely and more intense. We need to do two things now, rapidly reduce our emissions to reduce climate change and start adapting. It is about adapting to the impacts of climate change from our past emissions and those of the future, on the path to zero emissions. The Government published the first National Climate Risk Assessment, which bought together all the research to date on the risks and impacts of climate change to New Zealand.
