Wednesday June 9 2021 Selwyn Times 25 Canterbury, we need to talk about our changing climate Climate change is already affecting our local ecosystems and communities. It is not an easy or small topic. That’s why our local and regional councils have pooled resources, knowledge and expertise to help people understand, prepare for and adapt to the climate change impacts Canterbury is likely to experience. The new It’s time, Canterbury website is home to reputable information and resources on the topic. People can explore these pages to learn about what is expected, as well as ideas on how we can each help lessen and adapt to the impacts of climate change. What is climate change? Over many years, scientists and tohunga have learnt a lot about Earth’s climate system. Through observation, we know Earth’s temperature is currently warming much faster than experienced before. As Earth’s temperature continues to rise it causes changes in rainfall, weather patterns, and the frequency of extreme events, as well as ice melt and sea level rise. This results in a range of effects we experience in our natural environment and the areas we live in. Climate change in Canterbury Under a ‘business as usual’ scenario, where greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, average temperatures in Canterbury are projected to increase by up to 3.5°C by the end of the century. The likelihood of drought conditions is also projected to increase, and fire risk will increase as soils and plants become drier. Alongside drought, over the next two decades, we can expect wetter winters in many eastern, western and southern parts of Canterbury, with up to 40% more rain. What’s being done? The more learnt about the challenges associated with climate change in Canterbury, the more they’re shaping decision-making. Councils are thinking differently about biodiversity, water availability, flood protection, coastal erosion, energy, land, urban design, infrastructure and industry so you, your whānau, your community or your business can be supported to better understand and proactively respond - Mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri, ā muri ake nei – for us, and our children after us. At a national level, the Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment Act 2019 has a target for New Zealand to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050, except biogenic methane, which has its own separate reduction target. Can I really make a difference? Absolutely! The easiest thing you can do is be informed and become part of the conversation. Make sure you have verifiable facts to base your discussions and actions on and talk with others about what you know. On the It’s time, Canterbury website, you can show and share your support simply by putting your name to the cause, as well as learn about projected changes in your district. For those who want to act, there are ideas showing how simple changes can support New Zealand’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Examples include reducing electricity use, walking, biking, or catching the bus instead driving, and shopping locally. Everyone has a role to play and it starts at itstimecanterbury.co.nz. We’re here to help you understand, manage and prepare for more changes Canterbury is likely to face in the future. Because as well as taking action to reduce the impacts of climate change, we need to ready ourselves to adapt to them. itstimecanterbury.co.nz Brought to you by: It’s time to talk about climate change, Canterbury.
