The release of the New Zealand SeaRise projection has injected real urgency into climate change adaptation for coastal communities. Come and hear directly from the project leaders and the Climate Change Minister James Shaw.

Hear about our Wellington sea floor dropping and our sea level rising at a combined rate of double previous estimates. This means the threat to our coastal communities, roading, and other infrastructure is looming fast and will have serious impacts on access to insurance, mortgages, resale and most importantly, human health and safety and long term viability. Two swell warnings in the space of a week in May this year are a stark reminder of the challenges we face as coastal communities.

Hear from:
• Minister of Climate Change Hon James Shaw
• NZ SeaRise lead scientists Prof Tim Naish and Dr Richard Levy
• Wellington Mayor Andy Foster
• WCC Climate Change Adaption Team
