Auckland Council
Climate change and resilience
Climate change poses a huge challenge for communities as more frequent extreme weather events require us to rethink how we live and where. Local authorities are at the forefront of efforts to respond, with responsibilities for environmental planning and regulation, as well as civil defence. Many councils have plans to reduce emissions in their area and are working to help their communities adapt to a warming world.

Prioritise completing existing roading projects/maintenance so traffic can flow which is achievable and will mitigate idling cars emissions.
Address intensified development issues like flooding with robust infrastructure and wastewater systems that will cope into the future.
Amalgamate civil defence, first responders and local contractors with machinery, so landslides flooding road failures are addressed in hours not weeks.
Strengthen civil defence emergency plan due to volcanic activity along the tectonic plate and South Pacific. East sea levels are rising.
Electric vehicles, Paris agreement was signed by central government and should provide further financial support for voters.
Central government to investigate ten countries drilling in Antarctica creating gas emissions. Not to be included in NZ gas emissions.
Implement the Transport Emissions Reduction Pathway with a strong focus on providing more transport options for outer Auckland.
Fund Climate Action Plans for Local Boards, developed with the communities they represent so all Aucklanders can help achieve climate goals.
Strengthen civil defence work to protect Aucklanders from the devastating impacts of climate-induced storms, flooding and droughts.
Commit council to lowering carbon emissions by doing core service maintenance right the first time, thus removing job duplication.
Commit council to keeping stormwater infrastructure fully operational to best cope with extreme rain events.
Work to amalgamate Auckland Civil Defence Management with the Fire Service and local First Responder network. Enable community resilience.
Commit to earthquake strengthening vulnerable infrastructure.
Commit to improving solutions and fast tracking measures against climate change.
Commit to working with central government and vulnerable communities in improving safeguards to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Create a fund for community-led projects using Climate Action Targeted Rate focusing on initiatives that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Continue earthquake strengthening in our public buildings such as the current project on Corban Estate Arts Centre to ensure user safety.
A robust budget to repair landslips and supporting communities in natural hazard areas to plan for resilience. Less building in floodplains.
