Atmosphere and Climate Mission

Our science allows us to prepare for weather, adapt to unavoidable climate change impacts, anticipate and evaluate risks associated with climate change, and effectively reduce longer-term climate change impacts by mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This supports strengthening of the New Zealand economy and reducing economic losses.
