Dr Rod Carr

Chair of the NZ Climate Change Commission

The Climate Change Commission provides independent, evidence-based advice to Government to help Aotearoa New Zealand transition to a low-emissions and climate-resilient economy. They also monitor and review Government’s progress towards emissions reduction and adaptation goals.

Dr Carr’s PhD in insurance and risk management, alongside his work leading the University of Canterbury through the earthquake recovery period, are excellent background for the incredibly important work that needs to be done in leading climate change resilience and adaptation.

Dr Carr has also served as deputy governor and chair of the Reserve Bank so has strong governance experience.
