HAWKE’S
BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL
Māori Committee
Wednesday
3 May 2023
Subject: Spatial Climate Vulnerability Assessment
Reason for Report
1. This item is to demonstrate stage one
of the Climate Change Risk Explorer to the Māori Committee and seek advice
on how to progress the Kaupapa Māori domain.
Background
2. The Climate Change Risk Explorer is a
spatial-based regional risk assessment that layers hazards, assets and other
information (e.g. socio economic deprivation) to identify exposure,
vulnerabilities and consequences.
3. Council engaged Urban Intelligence to
undertake this work to inform the work of the Climate Action Ambassador and to
provide the science for the climate chapter of Kotahi.
4. UI spatial approach was preferred over
a more traditional risks register approach given its power to engage with the
community about climate risks and its evaluation of societal consequences.
5. Since Cyclone Gabrielle it has taken
on greater importance as a tool for recovery planning.
Stages of
work / progress
6. Presently, stage 1 is almost complete.
This stage has included all readily (publicly) available data on hazards in the
region and establishing the online map of vulnerabilities. Exposure and
vulnerability of infrastructure is included along with natural features and
mapped socioeconomic data.
7. Infrastructure across 3 subdomains has
been included: Natural, Built and Human.
8. This stage will be demonstrated on
screen to the Committee on 3 May.
9. The following stages are planned:
9.1. Stage 2: Gap filling: hazard and
scenario modelling; asset data development. This stage is particularly
important so that we can commission data for identified gaps in hazard
information as well as include the asset / infrastructure information in the
other 3 subdomains: Kaupapa Māori, Governance and Economic.
9.2. Stage 3. Second-pass risk assessment:
updating the risk assessment with the new information.
9.3. Stage 4: Semi-quantitative risk
assessment (workshops) to support adaptation planning and climate risk
reporting.
9.4. Stage 5: Adaptation planning and
community engagement.
9.5. Stage 6: Monitoring, reporting and
risk iteration.
10. We have applied for recovery funding
to increase scope and commission missing data modelling.
11. To include exposure and assess
vulnerabilities and criticality in the Kaupapa Māori domain for direct and
indirect impacts on tangata whenua and taonga, we would like to engage with
mana whenua to adapt the tool to their requirements and ensure this information
is of use for adaptation (and recovery) planning. Advice is sought from the
Māori Committee on how to go about this.
Decision
Making Process
12. Staff have assessed the requirements
of the Local Government Act 2002 in relation to this item and have concluded
that, as this report is for information only, the decision-making provisions do
not apply.
Recommendation
That the Māori Committee receives and
notes the Spatial Climate Vulnerability Assessment staff report.
