Consultation has concluded
The climate is changing. And so are we.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), we have only 12 years to act until the effects of climate change are irreversible and catastrophic. Now is the time to stop talking about climate change and to start taking climate action.
Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) recently released a draft Climate Action Plan to help our district adapt to, and reduce the effects of, our changing climate.
QLDC has a big role to play but cannot do this alone. Thanks to everyone who took the time to provide feedback on the draft Action Plan. We're now reviewing the feedback and will share next steps soon.
