Climate Change Strategy and Action Plans

Te tuhinga hukihuki mō te Rautaki me ngā Mahere Mahi Huringa Āhuarangi

Thank you for your interest, consultation closed 5 pm, Friday 4 September 2020.

We are proposing targets and actions to address climate change for both the Council and the Whakatāne District.

Our climate is changing and the implications are significant. Our community has already voiced the urgency of taking early climate action.

In 2019, the Council adopted a set of Principles to ensure that climate change is considered in all our decisions. The draft Climate Change Strategy and Action Plans continue this work and set the direction for our future actions.
