Energy Sector Climate Change Scenarios

Overview

Aotearoa is dependent on a thriving and efficient energy sector, which now faces many challenges in the face of the urgent realities of climate change. Extreme weather events, rising temperatures and the increasing regulatory pressure to decarbonise mean stakeholders in the energy sector must adapt, evolve, and explore a range of plausible climate futures to become climate resilient.

The Aotearoa Circle, with PwC as Secretariat, has convened leaders from across the energy sector to develop a set of climate change climate scenarios. These scenarios will give visibility to the potential impacts of climate change across the sector’s value chain and provide a comparable and consistent basis for the participating organisations own risk assessments and scenario analysis.
