Auckland\u2019s climate plan Te-T\u0101ruke-\u0101-T\u0101whiri is an impressive and ambitious document that sets out a response to climate change that\u2019s not just about mitigation (that is, emissions reductions) but also adaptation and developing a future that\u2019s unique to T\u0101maki Makaurau. Sarah Anderson and Parin Rafiei-Thompson have been instrumental in the plan and now are the driving forces behind Climate Connect Aotearoa, an innovation hub funded by Council to accelerate Auckland\u2019s climate response.
