flag Climate change raises insurance costs and risks for flood-prone homes in New Zealand.

flag Climate change is increasing the risk of extreme weather in New Zealand, making homes in flood-prone areas more expensive to insure or leaving them uninsurable. flag The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is considering requiring banks to hold more capital to cover risks, while the Auckland City Council is buying at-risk properties, funded by ratepayers. flag Experts warn this could lead to higher insurance costs and financial strain for homeowners, potentially requiring government intervention to support banks and insurers.
