The NZ SeaRise: Te Tai Pari O Aotearoa programme released location specific sea-level projections out to the year 2300 for every 2 km of the coast of Aotearoa New Zealand in May 2022. Using this tool, New Zealanders can see how much and how fast sea level will rise along ‘their own’ stretch of coast and in their neighbourhood. The tool allows users to click on a particular location on the coast and see how much sea level is expected to rise, and by when, under different climate change scenarios. These projections can be accessed through an online tool developed by Takiwā, a data management and analytics platform.
We have a separate map for planners and local bodies and for the public.
If you have any questions about the maps, the tool, or how to use the information, please check out the FAQs. We are extending this research as part of Our Changing Coasts, read more about our visualising sea-level rise research.
