Adapting to the climate crisis
"Nature is the backbone of our society; whether we realise it or not, we are relying on it every second of every day. Healthy forests and oceans give us oxygen, stable climates allow food production, and freshwater ecosystems give us the water that comes out of our tap."
George Hobson, Forest & Bird Youth, Policy Lead.
Nature can help us adapt to climate change but only if we protect nature first. Native forests, wetlands, dunes, and mangroves can all help defend us from the impact of extreme weather and sea level rise and build carbon reservoirs.
