On March 31 2014 was the release of the IPCC WGII report on assessing and managing the risks of climate change.
The report characterises observed impacts, vulnerability, and exposure, and adaptive responses to date; examines future risks and potential benefits and considers principles for effective adaptation and the broader interactions among adaptation, mitigation, and sustainable development. 
NZAGRC Deputy Director (International), Dr Andy Reisinger is a Coordinating Lead Author (CLA) for Chapter 25: Australasia, which provides scientific analysis of the expected regional impacts including risks and adaptation solutions for the agricultural industry.
