Aotearoa New Zealand’s economic success is closely tied to the strength of our agriculture sector.

Yet the sector faces growing and unprecedented disruption from the need to reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions to the economic necessity of adapting to a changing climate.

In response, Agriculture Sector Change Scenarios and Adaptation Roadmaps have been co-developed by agricultural leaders, climate scientists, policy and finance experts and Te Ao Māori.

Building on existing initiatives, such as He Waka Eke Noa, this work aims to enhance the sector’s resilience, productivity, food security and export market competitiveness. It also aligns with New Zealand’s National Adaptation Plan and supports compliance with the Climate-related Disclosures regime, offering a framework for robust risk assessment and scenario analysis.
