Planning and Adapting for the Future Together

Are you worried about sea level rise, flooding, earthquakes, and bushfires?

Do you wonder what Nelson City Council is doing about these increasing risks?

Do you want to explore how climate change will affect where you live and what you and your community could do?

Nelson Tasman Climate Forum and Te Tauihu Community Development Agency are hosting a discussion on these matters, with Marie Becdelievre, Adaptation Lead for Nelson City Council.

Come play, ask questions, and help shape how Nelson Tasman plans to live well as things change.
Climate change is already reshaping life in Nelson Tasman, but we can continue to live well by working together. Join us for an interactive evening where we’ll look at risk, how Councils assess it, and unpack what adapting looks like here.

We’ll look at ways of planning for uncertain changes and keeping our options open. We’ll make clear who can do what - individuals and community groups, iwi, businesses, and government - and talk honestly about the roadblocks and the real opportunities for our people and environment. Then we’ll switch to a short game and a big Q&A: bring your questions, stories, and concerns so we can test ideas together and find the information or support that people need next.

Take the Jump Aotearoa will be at the Isel Park Twilight Market - right next door to Pūtangitangi Greenmeadows - if you'd like to grab a bite to eat and say hello before this event begins. 

This event is part of Climate Action Festival. See the full program here.
