Kawerau 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.

Upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Elevate te ao Māori and kaitiakitanga in planning, problem-solving and decision-making.
Support whānau, hapū and iwi to determine and deliver their own climate education, action and resilience at a local level.
Provide underprivileged whānau with a basic emergency kit.
Commence an annual follow up with local civil defence groups to maintain resources.
Encourage wood and steel material for new builds to adhere earthquakes.
Support initiatives that have been council driven but wish to look at full life cycle of vehicles lawnmowers etc., before further investment.
As emergency responder, I believe I have first hand knowledge in this area to help develop a robust system to promote a hopeful outcome.
