Te Weu Tairāwhiti is a collective of local researchers focused on the future risks and opportunities for Tairāwhiti. Te Tai Rawhiti region, like the rest of the world, faces some big challenges: climate change, biodiversity loss, erosion and soil conservation, sustainable employment and economic opportunities. Te Weu's aim is to understand these issues, and what is currently helping or hurting our chances of leaving a healthy environment and economy for future generations.
Te Weu Tairāwhiti has been researching the impacts of carbon farming in the region, looking at climate change risk assessments and planning at the land block, village and neighbourhood level. We work with local authorities and central government but we can’t rely on them to solve local or global problems – we all need to be involved.
