Climate change action through our disability communities

Climate change affects everyone, but not everyone experiences it in the same way. 

That's why in Auckland, people with disabilities are being given a chance to shape the city's climate solutions.

Te Hōnonga a Iwi is proud to be one of six projects funded through a $200,000 pilot project set up to help disability communities prepare for a changing climate.

We will be working with Wilson School and Takapuna Grammar students, supporting their vision to grow fresh food produce and contribute to community resilience and their own learning.
