Climate change risks and adaptation in Bay of Plenty — Te Moana-a-Toi
Climate change risks and adaptation represents a key systemic pressure for Bay of Plenty — Te Moana-a-Toi.
Core pressure
The climate change risks and adaptation is a pressing concern for the region.
Structural drivers
Driver for climate_risk. This driver exacerbates the climate_risk pressure in Bay of Plenty — Te Moana-a-Toi.
Solution camps
A number of distinct positions recur in the policy debate on this issue. Each is defensible on its own terms; none is obviously correct.
Intervention for climate_risk. Targeted intervention on climate_risk will improve outcomes. Key moves include Policy measure 1 for climate_risk; Policy measure 2 for climate_risk; Implementation mechanism for climate_risk. The main tensions are: Trade-off A for climate_risk; Trade-off B for climate_risk.
