RNZ: Managed retreat: How do we get out of the way of climate change?

There are lots of ideas on how to get out of the way of climate change events. But, after years of discussion and some 'ad hoc' action, there is still no national plan. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/516237/managed-retreat-how-do-we-get-out-of-the-way-of-climate-change

Hickel: Climate, energy and natural resources

This is obviously a politically nuanced item - but I found this quote particularly relevant to several discussions going on in New Zealand right now.

"Climate breakdown is a process of atmospheric colonization. The atmosphere is a shared commons, on which all of us depend for our existence, and the core economies have appropriated it for their own enrichment, with devastating consequences for all of life on Earth, which are playing out along colonial lines."

Eastern Bays Climate Response Network on Facebook. Feel free to comment or post on topics related to the goals of this group on the Facebook page.

EBCRN is focussed on the need to act now to both mitigate the causes of accelerating climate change as well as prepare for the impact on our community. You can find out more about Eastbourne and the Network here. If you have climate related events, resources, requests, suggestions or any other information you would like to share please send it to us.

 Note: we create this newsletter "on the fly" as information and events come to our attention. Sometimes short notice of event dates mean the event passes before we send this out, so each email may be triggered but an upcoming event rather than a reasonable interval since the last release. Please feel free to give feedback on content and frequency of news, and send through items you might feel are of interest to the group.

You can forward this to someone if they would like to  join the Eastern Bays Climate Response Network and/or subscribe to the email updates
