Aucklanders are invited to have their say on Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Action Framework, which opens today.
The framework outlines 11 key moves to radically reduce emissions and to rapidly increase Auckland’s resilience to the impacts of climate change.
“Our climate is changing and the time for action is now.
“Making major changes to our personal choices and individual behaviour, to our systems and to our structures will create collective action.
