There are several free initiatives operating across Aotearoa to help individuals understand the options available to reduce their own household emissions and create the shift towards a healthier, more resilient future for people and planet. The platforms are based on real data, case studies, and examples from across Aotearoa New Zealand.
There are many resources available for business owners interested in learning more about what a changing climate might mean for their business and what actions they can take to prepare.
To help with building understanding what climate change might mean for your community and what the options are for responding to these changes, NIWA has developed an education resource hub. They have also developed interactive “serious games” which give a framework for thinking about decision-making on a holistic, all-of-community level.
