Adrian Macey: Adjunct Professor at the NZ Climate Change Research Institute on the inquiry on climate adaptation

Climate change is becoming increasingly pressing and so is New Zealand’s response to it.  As a result of cross-party work on climate change, the Finance and Expenditure Committee will conduct an inquiry on climate adaptation.  It will provide recommendations for the design of climate adaptation framework, which is intended to aid us in our response.  Adrian Macey, Adjunct Professor at the NZ Climate Change Research Institute, told Mike Hosking that we were badly underprepared for things like the floods in Northland and the East Coast.  He said that it’s important to be getting a sense of what we should be doing, knowing there is uncertainty.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
