In August 2023 the Ministry for the Environment published Community-led retreat and adaptation
funding: Issues and options paper.
The paper sets out challenges in the current climate adaptation system and possible options to address those challenges.
It draws on research including the report by the Expert Working Group on Managed Retreat. It also draws on engagement with local government, Treaty partners and stakeholders.
Nelson Tasman Climate Forum took the opportunity to express their vision on that subject.
