NZ's "clean environment" under pressure
A new report highlights that New Zealand's environment is under increasing pressure from climate change and intensive land use.
Statistics New Zealand and the Ministry for the Environment have released a major report showing that New Zealand's 'clean green' environment is under pressure on all fronts, particularly from climate change and intensive land use. The findings indicate that natural systems are becoming less resilient and are at risk of collapse, with soil erosion increasing and degrading downstream freshwater and marine ecosystems. The report warns of ongoing risks to people, communities, and places, and notes that extreme weather events associated with climate change threaten food and fiber crops.
