- Summary
- This report summarises the research undertaken in the research project, Adaptation Strategies to Address Climate Change Impacts on Coastal Māori Communities, (CO1X1445), which was undertaken for the 18 months ending June 2017, with Māori coastal communities in the Horowhenua–Kāpiti Rohe. This research was funded within the Vision Mātauranga programme of The Deep South Te Kōmata o Te Tonga National Science Challenge. In this project, our research team explored how a better understanding of aspects of the Mātauranga Māori worldview could be explored and developed alongside climate change science, geomorphology, ecological economics and design principles, to inform new paradigms for resilience and adaptation to climate change for coastal Māori communities.
