New Zealand’s first national climate change adaptation plan
The Ministry for the Environment released New Zealand’s first national adaptation plan. It will help us adapt to the effects of climate change which will better protect us against changes to come.
The full plan is almost 200 pages long. I found the 12-page summary quite helpful. It provides an overview of the plan, its main actions, participants, and the roadmap from 2018 to 2028.
There will be some who don't, won't or can't engage with the topic and wish for it to please just go away, like the pandemic. Others will want the government, or ratepayers, to build protections or bail them out. There are many uncomfortable discussions ahead of us, for example around home insurance, now that we have waited too long before taking any meaningful action. The plan is our chance to engage and reduce our risk and exposure to the increasingly unavoidable effects of climate change.
