The Climate Change Commission is coming to Wellsford next week for one of nine national consultation events for farmers, growers and rural residents.
The agriculture hui are designed to provide information and get feedback on the best ways for government to tackle greenhouse gas emissions and climate change in the coming decades.
The commission says it wants to hear from rural communities as they are an important part of the process.
“Our role is to provide independent, impartial advice to the government about choices they can make – and the pros and cons of different options.
“At the hui, we will provide an overview of the three pieces of work we are consulting on regarding Aotearoa New Zealand’s emissions reduction target and emissions budgets. There will also be plenty of time to ask questions and discuss ideas.”
The Climate Change Commission is an independent Crown entity that advises the government on climate change policy and monitors its progress towards emission reduction goals.
The Wellsford meeting will be held at the town’s Community Centre on Thursday, May 2, from 10am to 11am.
Feedback can be sent to the Climate Commission until May 31.
