A guide to local climate change risk assessments

This guide sets out a climate change risk assessment framework for local use, which is broadly consistent with the National Climate Change Risk Assessment Framework.

This guide:

• outlines the context for risk assessments within adaptation planning 

• sets out a step-by-step process to carry out local risk assessments 

• provides resources and sample templates for practical use. 

This guide was developed with direction from a Local Government Working Group and Māori caucus and panel in early 2021. The aim is to review and update it as required, and as the context for risk assessments evolves.
