Thames-Coromandel 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.

Earthquakes are an "act of God". Unpredictable but we must prepare and build accordingly.
Develop strategies to mitigate climate change and strengthen civil defence policy around natural disaster events.
Develop a climate resilient plan, to prepare for, adapt to, and ensure the recovery from natural disasters, including rising sea levels.
Maintain a climate-focused action committee, that focuses on finding sustainable, affordable and realistic solutions to climate-change.
