Leadership matters now. Leaders must plan, fund and act today to protect the future of our mokopuna.

Nature Based solutions work with the whenua. Wetlands, native planting and due restoration reduce climate risk while restoring ecosystems.

Adaptation Plans make a difference. Mapping risks, setting priorities and planning responses protects marae while respecting tikanga

Protecting Culture means Protecting Marae. Marae carry whakapapa, tikanga and community life. Rising seas and storms are tohu, speaking of opportunity.

1 in 3 marae are in flood-prone areas. Nearly 200 site within 1 km of the coast.

It's time to step up and take action. The effects of climate change is an opportunity for Māori lead the way in adaption.

Please share - it's time to act. It's time.

We incorporate cutting edge western science, and mātauranga Maori (Indigenous knowledge) to come up with solutions.

We're aware there is a lot of talk around climate change effects. We know we need to start planning and implementing adaptation now!

Kia ora, we're a consultancy based in Aotearoa New Zealand with a focus on climate adaptation and nature-based-solutions.

Our focus is intergenerational planning, with climate change modelling to develop adaptation or development plans along with the land owners and mana whenua.
