Recent devastating weather events that have swept across Aotearoa highlights that more needs to be done to ready whānau, hapū and iwi to meet the challenges of climate change.
Kaihautū Māori Research Impact Leader Dr Shaun Awatere (Ngāti Porou) is leading a team of researchers to develop tools to help Māori landowners make informed decisions through a te ao Māori lens when it comes to the land management practices necessary to meet our changing environment.
Huringa Āhuarangi, Huringa Oranga is a research programme created to provide hapū and iwi with the tools needed for mana whenua to fulfil their role as kaitiaki by using both science and mātauranga Māori to make informed decisions about adapting their land for climate change.
