Energy Sector Climate Change Scenarios

The Aotearoa Circle invited key participants from across the wider energy sector, including electricity and other energy sources, to develop a set of shared climate change scenarios for use in strategic planning. These scenarios aimed to explore the focal question “How could climate change plausibly impact the Aotearoa New Zealand energy sector?”

This report was intended for a range of audiences, including businesses looking to undergo climate change scenario analysis, policy makers, industry bodies, and local communities.

This report does not include a roadmap for adaptation of the sector or outline actions or recommendations for businesses or policy.
