Climate Change and Sustainability

On 3 September 2025 Council adopted the Climate Change & Sustainability Strategy, replacing Councils former Climate Change Policy and Climate Resilience Plan.

We are currently updating the climate change information on our website but you can read the strategy here

For more background information on the strategy development visit our Climate Change and Sustainability strategy consultation page.

To tackle climate change and its impacts effectively, we know we must work together. Councils in Waitaha/Canterbury have joined forces to deliver bold climate actions for our region.
