Grey District 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.

Commit to adapting to climate change because like it or not it's coming. One way or the other we will be the burden of this. We need to future-proof.
Commit to better civil defence on the West Coast as we need to be more self-sufficient if we are cut off from the rest of New Zealand.
