|---|---|
| Processes, uncertainties and tipping points, including detection and attribution | The fundamental science, essential for robust "predictions/projections of change", is identified and prioritised to fill current knowledge gaps |
| Predictions/projections of change | Predictions/projections for the "consequences of change" are improved |
| Consequences of change: adaptable, responsive and resilient New Zealand | The critical role that the Antarctic and southern ocean have in our social, cultural and economic wellbeing and implications for active kaitiakitanga are well understood by New Zealanders |
