Our changing climate is affecting the way we live, work, and travel.
In 2019, our Council joined 17 regional and local councils from across New Zealand in declaring a climate emergency. This declaration is part of the internationally binding Paris Agreement to limit the global average temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
We are committed to working together with our communities to build climate resilience and look for new opportunities as we transition to a thriving, low-emission, innovative and more sustainable city.
