In this episode of RaboTalk’s Growing our future, Blake Holgate is joined by Dr Andy Reisinger. Based in New Zealand, Andy has an internationally recognised scientific profile for his climate change work. Currently, Andy is a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), vice chair of the IPCC Mitigation working group and is serving as a Commissioner on the NZ Climate Change Commission.  

This episode focuses on the physical impacts of climate change, specific to New Zealand, how these changes will affect local farmers and growers now, and in the future, and what can be done to prepare for changes. Andy and Blake discuss the nature and scale of climatic changes, how much of the weather extremes we are experiencing can be attributed to man-made emissions of greenhouse gases, and how the consequences of climate changes will affect farmers and growers in New Zealand compared with the rest of the world.
