Taupō 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.

Improve local preparedness by keeping response plans up to date and ensuring communities are well-informed in an emergency.
Plan ahead for climate impacts through resilient development and backing community-led solutions.
Advocate for a sensible carbon credit system that does not negatively impact ratepayers for no gain.
Commit to civil defence emergency readiness including current operational plans and community preparedness for natural disasters.
Ensure council planning tools identify and avoid zoning in hazard areas affected by climate change including flood and compromised areas.
Adapt to a changing climate but avoid preparing for a climate armageddon that never arrives as it is costing us dear.
Dispel the myth of climate change as it is a total hoax. NZ difference to carbon input is less than 0.084% countrywide.
Support farming, local business and other real issues rather than adapting to a false narrative.
Prepare for earthquakes or volcanic eruptions as it is worth being prepared for. Recently completed a CPR refresher with St John.
