Auckland ratepayers continually expect better levels of service and reduced environmental impact – as they should. At the same time, the council is under pressure to keep rates as low as possible for ratepayers. This rational approach creates difficulty when decisions made decades, or even a century ago, are still having negative impacts today.

Executive summary (extracts) Anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change has the potential to radically alter ecosystems throughout the world, including the Auckland region. In particular, climate change poses significant challenges for ecosystem conservation and is predicted to become a major threat to biodiversity in the 21st century. Climate change risk assessments looking at species at risk have become very common overseas, however in New Zealand and particularly in Auckland, assessments of species and ecosystems have been limited.

Executive summary The regional sea level rise inventory assesses Auckland’s potential exposure to sea level rise and coastal inundation. To do so, it uses both land elevation bands as a proxy for a series of sea level rise (SLR) scenarios and coastal inundation models to consider extreme storm events under present and future regimes. The two approaches permit a simultaneous consideration of changing coastlines as a result of sea-level rise (an altered environment) and extreme events.
