“The Tasman region, like many other parts of the world, is facing the impacts of climate change. Rising sea levels, increasing temperatures, and more frequent extreme weather events are just some of the challenges that we face. We must act now to reduce emissions, prepare for current and future impacts, and respond to the effects we are already experiencing“.
To address these challenges, they have developed a Tasman Climate Response and Resilience Strategy and Action Plan 2024-2035 in order to guide their efforts to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
