Kia Urutau: Adapt - Deep South Challenge Magazine

Kia ora koutou. Welcome to this one-off edition of the Deep South Challenge magazine, “Kia Urutau | Adapt”. We decided to produce a magazine that was not full of scientific or technical jargon - one that would make what we do properly accessible. We also wanted to reflect on our research to date, by asking our key communities - partners, stakeholders and researchers - about their views of the Challenge's past and potential future. This might have been a risky move - and, indeed, the views presented here are not uniform and not without complexity. But, overwhelmingly, they show the Challenge is moving in the right direction. We have been listening closely to our key audiences to ensure we're meeting the growing need for research and engagement on our shared future. Climate change research is complex, but our communities are more than aware of the importance of linking science with society; and they're eager to work with us. This magazine is not a comprehensive research guide. The articles presented here are a snapshot of the research underway. You can find detailed information about all our research on our website. We hope you find this magazine to be an enjoyable and informative read. We also encourage you to get in touch with your feedback, questions or collaboration ideas for the next five years.
