New Zealand launches a plan to treat forests, wetlands, and soils as essential infrastructure to tackle a $200B+ gap and boost climate resilience.
New Zealand has launched a Natural Infrastructure Plan urging the government to treat forests, wetlands, and soils as vital infrastructure to combat a projected $200 billion+ infrastructure gap.
Developed with input from over 200 experts, the plan promotes nature-based solutions to reduce flood risks, boost biodiversity, and deliver long-term economic benefits with lower maintenance than traditional projects.
It calls for integrating natural assets into national legislation, risk assessments, and investment decisions, offering a toolkit to compare nature-based and conventional options.
Advocates stress that 70% of New Zealand’s exports depend on natural resources, making ecological protection essential for sustainable growth.
The initiative aims to shift focus from short-term fixes to long-term resilience amid rising climate threats.
