Watch this space! We will be launching a spatial, dynamic, culturally rooted map.


This map, populated by empirical conclusions from our assessment, can be used as a decision-making, educational, and communication tool, allowing diverse stakeholders to understand and evaluate how effective certain adaptation projects are currently and will be in the future.  

Our team

We have brought together practitioners of physical and social sciences. Driven by a vision of knowledge justice, engaging with mana whenua and Mātauranga Māori, this project builds on existing work done with Kā Huru Manu on presenting the multifunctional futures of land and social-ecological systems in Aotearoa NZ and work done by Māori scholars on meaningful and just adaptation.

Our Holistic Approach

Mixed Methods

Our team has woven together ethnography, GIS-driven spatial analysis, democratic design thinking, and projections of climate change impacts

Collaborative co-production

Research for this will also embrace the vision of ‘knowledge-co-production’ with significant strategic engagements between scholars and other relevant stakeholders
