One of the four goals that we’ve set in our Kia tūroa te Ao – Ōtautahi Christchurch Climate Resilience Strategy [PDF, 1.8 MB] is to understand and prepare for the ongoing impacts of climate change. While we work to mitigate the effects of climate change, our communities will also need to adapt to the changes that are already unavoidable.
We know that sea levels are rising because of climate change. Over time, this is going to have a big impact on how we live, use, and move around our district’s coastline and low-lying inland areas. While we don’t have all the answers about what life is going to look like in the future, we do know there are some important decisions we can be making now so we’re better prepared.
We're working with communities to plan for the future through our coastal hazard adaptation planning programme, which you can learn more about below.
