Climate change planning for asset managers with high risk assets
Over the next 15-20 years, New Zealand will spend many billions adapting its towns, cities and essential services to the challenges of climate change. We know climate adaptation is a long-term, multi-generational challenge. Asset managers need to be prepared for the increasing frequency and severity of floods, storms, droughts, wildfires, and coastal hazards. Many are not ready.
The best way to protect your core assets and customers is by integrating climate change adaptation into long term asset planning. This requires understanding of climate projections and risk, building adaptable and resilient systems, and working under conditions of uncertainty. Many responses may be costly and contentious, however the costs of inaction will outweigh the costs of action, over the longer term.
This event will support asset managers and infrastructure professionals from councils, utilities and other climate-risk impacted business to gain a deeper understanding of climate change and how it can be embedded within asset planning decisions. This event features expert advice and case studies from asset planners, network managers, operational technologists, climate strategists, resilience planners, climate risk managers, climate insurers, climate financiers, and spatial technologists.
