Mō te hui About the event

Unfortunately, due to the red traffic light setting phase 2 restrictions, this public event cannot be held in person.

Heio anō consequently Royal Society Te Apārangi is hosting this 3-hour hui ā-ipurangi online presentation and a facilitated Q+A sessions with kaiwhakataki MC Associate Professor Rebecca Priestley CRSNZ. It is a packed programme starting 9.30am sharp 4 Poutū-te-rangi March.

We will welcome Dr Andy Reisinger, lead author and IPCC Bureau Member, as our first presenter to provide some context. The IPCC was created to provide policymakers with regular scientific assessments on climate change, impacts, its implications and potential future risks, as well as to put forward adaptations and mitigation options.

The IPCC Working Group I examines the physical science underpinning past, present, and future climate change.

IPCC Working Group II assesses the vulnerability of socio-economic and natural systems to climate change, negative and positive consequences of climate change and options for adapting to it.

Andy will be joined by Professor James Renwick CRSNZ, a He Pou a Rangi Climate Change Commissioner and a leading researcher in atmospheric science and climate dynamics, to participate in this kōrero summarising the contribution of Working Group I.

Also invited is Professor Bronwyn Hayward, Coordinating Lead Author of Working Group II of the AR6 Assessment (Cities & Infrastructure), who will outline the global context and significant messages from the IPCC.

She will be joined by Dr Judy Lawrence, Coordinating Lead Author of Working Group II of the AR6 Assessment, who will speak about the New Zealand-relevant assessment (Australasia Chapter 11). Judy is a well known impacts and adaptation expert in New Zealand and internationally, specially for climate change decision making and a He Pou a Rangi Climate Change Commissioner.

Several other New Zealand authors of the Working Group I (The Physical Science Basis) and Working Group II (Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability) reports for the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report will join us in the Q+A sessions:

• Professor Bruce Glavovic
• Professor Dave Frame
• Professor Alistair Woodward
• Dr Olaf Morgenstern
• Professor Nicholas Golledge
• Olivia Warrick
• Professor Anita Wreford
• Professor Mark Costello
• Belinda McFadgen
• Professor Glenn McGregor

Te reo o te whenua – Our closing presentation and Q&A session is on adaptation strategies, realignment of priorities and collective solutions with Dr Shaun Awatere (Ngāti Porou) and Associate Professor Sandy Morrison (Ngāti Whakaue, Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Rārua ki te Tau Ihu, Ngāti Tama ki te Waipounamu). They are all contributing authors to the Sixth Assessment Report.
