“It’s quite a shock to people to suddenly have to be confronted with all of this, but the more you take on the information and discuss it, then I think the more empowered you’re going to feel about your future,” he says.
“If you already are in a [coastal] house and the family has been there for generations… then there are adaptation options.
“The easier ones are we could lift the floor up a bit, we can let a wetland regenerate so it buffers, we could have mangroves growing… and then if you’re really keen to stay put and you can’t move, then you need to consider harder engineering options.”
Tim says, while land subsidence was caused by geological processes, the biggest way individuals could reduce sea level rise was reduce fossil fuel use by way of transport. Both Tim and Richard say they were encouraged at the level of engagement during the lecture, particularly by the younger generation who were active throught the Q&A session.
Previous speakers at the lecture have included the likes of Sir Edmund Hilary and Sir Ernest Rutherford.
We are also very fortunate to have some pretty incredible Nelson teams performing at a national level. The Nelson Giants are rallying late in the season with a great win last weekend, and I can’t wait to see the Tasman Mako kick off in the NPC and Farah Palmer Cup in less than a month.
Another huge sports fan I know will be paying a visit to Nelson very soon. Just over a week ago, Christopher Luxon and I were celebrating the Crusaders win together. Though he lives in Auckland now, Chris is a Canterbury boy at heart, and he joined the National Party’s South Island team wearing Crusaders jerseys last week. Chris will be in Nelson next Tuesday, July 11, as part of his “Get NZ Back on Track” tour. This is your opportunity to meet him in person and ask any questions you want about the next National government and the results we will deliver for Nelson and Tasman.
Public Meeting with Christopher Luxon, Leader & Blair Cameron, Candidate for Nelson
Tuesday 11 July, 11am
Annesbrook Event Centre, 40 Saxton Road West, Stoke
