Views sought on climate change
Porirua residents are being asked their views on climate change.
Their climate change strategy ‘Rautaki o te ao Hurihuri’ has been developed in response to the declaration of a climate emergency by Porirua City Council on 26th June 2019. It lists actions that will be taken over the next 3-4 years.
These actions are intended to support mitigating the effects of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and to prepare the city for the impacts of climate change.
The council is running a survey and wants to know what residents think about climate change.
