Climate Report Warns We're Behind | Auckland News

The Climate Change Commission just dropped a wake-up call: our climate prep is patchy, dangerously slow, and leaving communities exposed. With risks escalating, they’re demanding urgent, bold action — especially on funding — to break the cycle of disaster response. Investing now saves money and lives, but we’re short on resources. The government must clarify its own financial commitments, then partner with councils and private sector to close the gap. While new legislation requiring councils to plan for 30 years is a step forward, it’s unclear how “high-priority” areas will be defined. They also push for embedding climate resilience into all laws, better data, Māori-led adaptation, and turning the next national plan into a real engine of change — not a checklist.
