VIDEO – What is tangata whenua-led adaptation planning?

The environment is changing and to thrive, we need to change with it. Tangata whenua-led adaptation planning supports whānau, hapū, and iwi prepare for the impacts of climate change.

In this third and final video of our adaptation series, we focus on He Ara ki Tua - Tangata Whenua Climate Adaptation planning. This is a process shaped by tikanga and tirohanga Māori, exploring ways to plan and adapt to our changing climate and shifting environment.

Te Hōtaka Urutau Hapori - The Community Adaptation Programme is happening now across the district. Find out more about tangata whenua-led adaptation planning on our climate action page.
