- Summary
- Assessing the vulnerability of taonga freshwater species to climate change To prepare for changes in climate, our freshwater and oceans decision-makers need information on species vulnerability to climate change. Te Wai Māori Trust recognises that the impacts of climate change on taonga freshwater species needs to be factored in to effectively manage and conserve taonga species in Aotearoa-New Zealand. In 2019 they, with co-funding from the CK2020 programme, commissioned NIWA to complete a Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment (CCVA) on the vulnerability of 10 freshwater taonga species (eight fish and two invertebrates).
