Litchfield, H.

Description

In this conference presentation paper, the author provides an overview of the disproportionate effects of climate change on Indigenous communities globally, and the Maōri people of New Zealand specifically. She discusses the 2021 Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi Climate Change Strategy, jointly developed by Te Kaahui o Rauru and the Ministry for the Environment in New Zealand, and the key socio-environmental strengths identified in that strategy. The author concludes by providing recommendations for policy and practice in relation to establishing meaningful and respectful relationships between Indigenous and Westernized communities.
