Copper and zinc concentrations in Auckland urban streams indicate they may be contributors to degraded ecological health (Mills & Williamson 2008) but these are not currently included as attributes in the National Objectives Framework (NOF) of the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2014 (NPS-FM). This discussion paper summarises work undertaken towards developing copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) as Auckland-specific freshwater attributes for ecosystem health. Although the work is incomplete, Auckland Council recognises a need for the work undertaken to be publicly available to enable other organisations to use the information and proceed with the tasks identified as required for attribute development.

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 Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) has been developed in support of the Auckland Climate Action Plan (ACAP). Its aim is to provide information about the risk and vulnerabilities the Auckland region may face under a changing climate regime.

So Tāne introduced trees to our world and, three years later when the kahikatea blossomed, Tāne’s wish came true.

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.

Auckland’s current targets are to achieve 10 to 20 per cent reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2020, 40 per cent by 2040 and 50 per cent by 2050 (based on 1990 levels). The council is in the process of reviewing Low Carbon Auckland and developing an integrated climate action plan for Auckland, addressing both mitigation and adaptation. This requires a robust evidence base to inform development of the integrated plan.
