Simon Watts: Climate change minister discusses newly announced climate adaptation plan
Published 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
The government has announced a climate adaptation plan to help handle floods, cyclones, and other natural disasters.
Councils will now have to draw up 30-year plans, and a national flood map is due in 2027.
Climate change minister Simon Watts told Mike Hosking that the current system lacks a coordinated approach to respond to natural hazards.
“We don't have good data to make decisions, we don't have clear roles and responsibilities...we don't have a clear framework to deal with that reality.”
