Our environment

The relationship and connection we have with the environment goes well beyond the goods and services we receive from it, like food, fuel, and clean water. Our environment is where we stand, our tūrangawaewae – where we live, learn, work, play, and socialise. It is our home and our identity, and the foundation of our culture and tradition.

The future of our beautiful region starts with protecting and caring for it today.

Climate change
Climate change will bring an increased risk of natural hazard events to the Kāpiti Coast. We can expect rising sea levels, more and heavier rain events, and more and stronger wind to become a feature of living here.

Coastal adaptation
Like many coastal communities around Aotearoa, Kāpiti is facing significant environmental challenges caused by our changing climate and associated rising sea and groundwater levels.

Biodiversity
Kāpiti's attractive natural environment has a diverse range of ecosystems, but our increasing population and development can have adverse effects on this landscape.
