Submission on: Inquiry into Climate Adaptation
Federated Farmers of New Zealand welcomes the opportunity to submit to the Environment Select Committee on its Inquiry into Climate Adaptation.
Climate adaptation is the process of adjusting to the effects of climate change. Federated Farmers takes a strong interest in climate adaptation and farmers are very aware of the risks of climate change to their businesses. They are regularly disrupted and directly affected by severe weather events, with Cyclone Gabrielle the most recent example. It should be no surprise that businesses in the agriculture, forestry, and fishing industries are amongst the most aware of the potential impacts of climate change, including the need for adaptation.
