UR22 | Wellington Satellite Hub | Dynamic Pathways Planning for Climate Change

Speaker: Nicki Williams (Mitchell Daysh) The effects and impacts of climate change on communities and land use planning are rapidly changing. Local governments are required to consider the effects of the changing climate on communities and support communities and business to improve their resilience and sustainability. One of the keys to improving community resilience and changing land uses is enabling communities and stakeholders to make informed decisions that may change over time. Understanding how the climate will change, the risks this poses and how communities will adapt are important steps to build resilience. Dynamic planning pathways enables communities to make decisions about their future and provide for our changing climate. This session will focus on some practical examples on what is happening in local government to build community resilience through enabling communities to make informed decisions that may change over time.
