According to the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), sea level in the wider sea around New Zealand will rise by 5-10% more than the global average rise that IPCC provides. This means that there is near certainty that the sea will rise 20-30 cm by 2040. By the end of the century, depending on whether global greenhouse gas emissions are reduced, it could rise by between 0.5 to 1.1 m, which could add an additional 116,000 people exposed to extreme coastal storm flooding1.
