You don’t need to be a climate adaptation expert to start taking actions that help your community to get climate ready.

A climate ready community is one that understands how the climate is changing, and is ready to adapt to those changes.

Our Climate is Changing

We have an opportunity to plan ahead for how we adapt to, and live alongside the impacts of climate disruption through a process called climate adaptation.​

In Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland, we are already seeing some of the impacts of a disrupted climate, including more frequent and severe storm events, and hotter and drier periods of weather leading to more frequent heatwaves and droughts.​

These changes can disrupt the way we work, live and play.​

Climate adaptation is not just about managing the impacts of climate disruption – it’s a chance for communities to come together to agree on what they want the future to look like and how to protect the places they love, now and for future generations.​

It’s an important job, and one that we’ll need to work together to achieve. ​
