Kaiapoi-Tuahiwi Community Board
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.

Aim to building resilient communities able to support each other.
To commit to a policy that allows the gradual integration of sensible environmental goals without compromising our quality of life.
To commit to doing more research on actual changes in our coastal environment to better plan for subdivision developments and building rules.
To commit to do all I can to ensure that civil defence and earthquake strengthening rules are fit for purpose (I hope lessons have been learnt).
Help our local community reduce its impact on the climate.
Investigate the possibility of reduced interest loans for solar within our community.
Investigate the ability to improve public transport to remove greenhouse gas emissions.
