Carbon emissions from air travel across the organisation are offset via our own biodiversity programmes. According to a Madworld report in 2019, our gross emissions were <strong>22</strong>53 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent, compared with removals of 7883 tonnes of CO2- equivalent through our efficiency efforts and from forestry planting across 2700 hectares. The changing climate will pose many risks to life and livelihood in Canterbury. In recent years we have seen how occasional, but extreme, weather events have had huge effects on residents and infrastructure around the South Island. The driest parts of our region, along the Marlborough coast and across much of the Canterbury Plains, are expected to get even drier. North-westerly storms are predicted to become more intense, with torrential alpine rainstorms turning our braided rivers into roaring rapids, fuelling landslides and causing widespread erosion.

One example is the $40 million Waimakariri River flood protection project, completed late last year. The network of floodgates and stopbanks will protect half a million people and $8 billion of community and business assets from a possible “super flood”. The last major flood was in December 1957, when parts of Coutts Island in Belfast and Kainga were swamped by river flow peaking at 3990 cubic metres per second (cumecs). The protection scheme has been designed to defend Christchurch from a flood of as much as 6500 cumecs. Environment Canterbury’s leadership of biodiversity and biosecurity programmes is also underpinned by climate-change concerns. Canterbury’s distinct braided rivers and unique wetlands face many challenges.

With biosecurity, we are putting greater emphasis on the risks of new pests establishing in Canterbury. Warming temperatures, changing soils and new land uses mean new weeds especially, will be able to gain a better foothold across the region. More broadly, we have to curb reliance on fossil fuels and find environmentally suitable alternatives, such as electricity and hydrogen, to power our public transport. When my predecessor Steve Lowndes retired as chair of this council late last year, he highlighted some of the big changes on the way. He was optimistic we would be able to deal with the “pressing issues” of climate change and sustainability. I share his confidence. As a community, and as a council, we are taking some bold steps to ensure we are in a better place to cope with the changing climate and the tests it will set us. But there will always be a need to do more. Emma Shine Salesperson/Marketing Consultant Licensed REAA (2008) M. 027 287 5600 E. emma.shine@raywhite.com emmashine/raywhite.com
