Mahere Tauhohe Huarere - Rotorua Climate Action Plan
Consultation has concluded
We are proposing targets and actions to address climate change for the Rotorua District
Human activity has impacted on our atmosphere. There is already evidence of climate change effects, including raised temperatures and sea levels and increased frequency of extreme weather events. Our draft Rotorua Climate Action Planidentifies actions we can take to mitigate (reduce) the emissions created in our district and proposes emissions reduction targets. It also identifies the risks our district faces from climate change and the actions that need to be taken to adapt to the expected changes.
The draft Plan has been developed with the input of partners and stakeholders. We intend that it will guide decision making towards a more resilient Rotorua, by locking in a lower-carbon way of doing things. It will be a living document that will evolve to reflect work underway, future planning and our progress towards addressing climate change. This work will be led by Council, our partners and the wider community.
The consultation period has now closed - The Climate Action Plan was passed by Council in Feb 2021 - A copy of the final plan is here!
