There is a huge impact on our conservation values. Many of Aotearoa's plants, our birds, our bats, our insects, our reptiles, our fish—they are not found anywhere else in the world and they are all at risk right now from the impacts of climate change.

My colleagues from the National Emergency Management Agency across the country have had to adapt radically the way that they are responding to emergency management issues because there has been an uptake as a consequence of climate change.
