Pacific-Australia Climate Change Science and Adaptation Planning Program

Current and future climate of
Papua New Guinea

This publication updates the original Current and future climate of Papua New Guinea brochure
published in 2011.
The content of this brochure is the result of a collaborative effort between the Papua New Guinea
National Weather Service and the Pacific-Australia Climate Change Science and Adaptation
Planning (PACCSAP) Program – a component of the Australian Government’s International
Climate Change Adaptation Initiative. The information in this publication, and research conducted
by PACCSAP, builds on the findings of the 2013 IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, and uses new
emissions scenarios and climate models.
