Climate Committee

The Climate Committee was established in 2019. Its membership is seven councillors from Greater Wellington Regional Council, a member nominated by Ara Tahi, and an external member with relevant expertise, appointed by Council.

The Committee’s purpose is to oversee and inform the development and review of Council’s strategies, policies, plans, programmes and initiatives from a climate change perspective; and provide effective leadership on climate change for the organisation and the region to reduce greenhouse gas emission and ensure a climate resilient future for the Wellington Region.
