Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote 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.

Prepare for climate impacts including sea-level rise and extreme weather events by advocating for adaptive planning.
Reduce local greenhouse gas emissions by supporting sustainable transport including on-demand bus service.
Strengthen community resilience and civil defence initiatives for the Port Hills including fire preparedness, evacuation and community education.
Increase native planting along riverbanks for flood mitigation.
Support Christchurch's goal of net zero greenhouse emissions by 2045 (excluding methane) and halve emissions by 2030.
Support enhanced public transport and cycling infrastructure.
Encourage active urban transport options such as safe cycleways and energy-efficient public transport options including an efficient bus system.
Ensure great public action strategies are in place for major but infrequent threats such as fires, tsunamis, earthquakes and floods.
Treat climate change as a serious threat and reduce greenhouse gases to avoid a difficult future. As a scientist I understand this.
