Mayor of Napier
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 council assessing the 43 climate change risks and their consequences for Napier.
Preparing our city assets and infrastructure to respond to climate change will be at the forefront of all planning and work programmes.
Upgrade our stormwater network to alleviate flooding issues. Upgrades include widening pipes, and increasing inlet and pumping capacity.
Focusing on traffic management initiatives which support safe pedestrian and cycling routes throughout our city.
Resist the climate change myth as a basis of policy. Climate always changing but not as result human activity. The war on carbon is idiotic.
Question whether some EQ strengthening decrees are an over reaction to Christchurch 2010.
