ADAPTATION PLANNING

Research report

Treaty of Waitangi and climate adaptation

This report investigates the Crown’s Te Tiriti o Waitangi obligations in relation to sea level rise.

Māori communities are likely to be severely affected by sea level rise, with many rural Maori communities situated along the coast.

Where communities have limited economic power and access to finance, and little or no insurance cover, effective policy options for uninsurable Māori housing are critical.
