WHAT WE'RE DOING
Almost everything Auckland Council does – from the way we design our streets to how we care for our parks – has a climate resilience angle. This part of our website highlights some of the big, visible projects and plans that shape how Auckland is already adapting to climate change and reducing the city’s climate emissions.
Whole of council approach
Our whole-of-council approach means Auckland’s climate work is happening everywhere, all at once, at every scale: from region-wide infrastructure programmes to local projects driven by communities.
