Draft Natural Adaption Plan

The Government is consulting on a draft national plan to help Aotearoa New Zealand adapt to and minimise the harmful impacts of climate change.

New Zealand’s first national adaptation plan will build the foundation for adaptation action so that all sectors and communities are able to live and thrive in a changing climate. The consultation also outlines proposals for flood insurance and managed retreat policies.

Consultation will close at 11:59pm on 3 June 2022.
