Notes |
This report addresses the impacts of climate change and global warming on coastal margins. It complements the more general overview of climate change impacts on New Zealand published by the Ministry for the Environment/New Zealand Climate Change Programme in July 2001 (MfE, 2001). The report aims to assist resource managers and planners to understand the underlying impacts and issues in climate change and sea-level rise, and to provide guidance in planning and the development of mitigation or adaptation strategies for coastal communities. |
