Show Notes

Last week's extreme weather in the Upper North Island left a lot of damage behind, and concerns have been raised about the future.

The Government last year established a loose framework for climate adaptation, on an expert panel's recommendation to transition from buying-out destroyed homes - but Minister Simon Watts says a better assessment is needed.

Climate adaptation expert Dr Judy Lawrence says clearer adaptation plans are needed in order to better equip risky places.
