Responding to the impacts of climate change on the district and doing our bit to reduce future climate change is the responsibility of each of us, individually and collectively. We have been on a journey, collaborating to develop a draft Whakatāne District Climate Change Strategy - Whakatāne Climate Pathway, that carves a pathway to work together to shape sustainable, low-emission, climate resilient communities.
This is a district-wide, community plan and it defines a pathway for us all to follow together. While the journey may not be a straight line, this plan will provide a clear pathway, direction and vision to work towards over time.
Responsibility for delivering on the goals and actions of this plan do not sit with one group, person or organisation. However, Council acknowledges its role in leading the community on this journey and has committed to ongoing climate action and leadership.
Delivering on Council-led actions in this plan is a key component of the Council’s long-term plans, and Council is currently consulting on its draft Long Term Plan 2024-34 alongside this consultation.
We want to know what you think. This document is a draft, it has been informed by all the feedback from the community to date, but we want to know if we’ve got it about right.
