Auckland Council submission on the Inquiry into Climate Adaptation |
|
|
|
Resolution number MT/2023/156 MOVED by Member T Woodcock, seconded by Member D Allan: That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board: a) support in principle the key concepts of proactive adaptation and community-led retreat. b) support central government's work to ensure regulatory settings take the future realities of adaptation and retreat into account and ensure our communities are being supported to adapt. c) recommend that central government's initial funding priorities should focus on engagement, education and communication with the general public and potentially affected communities to help shift the mindsets of people and promote understanding of the concepts of adaptation and the natural cycles of the environment that are being expedited by climate change. d) support significant engagement with local communities, Māori and iwi to develop an approach to adaptation and community-led retreat that is well understood and does not feel imposed e) support maximising learnings from adaptation and retreat measures undertaken by our Pacific Island relatives including models for community-led approaches and learning from challenges. f) support community-led local adaptation planning and recommend that Auckland Council is resourced to take the lead on developing localised approaches for community-led planning and funding allocation -- we need to have localised conversations about costs of different options around managed retreat versus other adaptation options. g) support central government support for communities to determine and enact cost-effective adaptation options, whilst enabling the exploration of more complex and cost intensive options through other possible funding mechanisms. h) recommend that Auckland Council is enabled to have an appropriate say in how central government funding is allocated for local projects, recognising our intended relationship of interdependence and partnership. |
