‘Disaster inertia’: why must NZ keep relearning the same lessons from extreme events?
In the aftermath of another summer of weather disasters, there were headlines about a “growing gap” between recovery efforts and preparation for climate change impacts. There were calls for a rethink of how New Zealand approaches natural hazards and for decision-makers to learn from the lives and homes lost in landslides and floods. If this sounds all too familiar, it is because the country has become locked in a state of “disaster inertia” – one that has existed for longer than we might think.

IPCC report: this decade critical for adapting to inevitable climate change impacts & rising costs
Climate change impacts in Aotearoa New Zealand are real and future risks are high, according to the latest report released today by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The report is part of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment and focuses on impacts, adaptation and vulnerability to climate change.

Pathways to coastal retreat
There is an urgent need to take coastal retreat more seriously as an option for adapting to sea level rise (SLR) and as a strategy capable of providing positive outcomes, if planned ahead. Early signs of such thinking are emerging. We demonstrate how exploring pathways to managed retreat adds value in the context of irreversible long-term SLR. Retreat is typically framed and understood as a single action, largely used after events rather than preemptively, and considered as a last resort.
Funding Climate Change Adaptation
the case for a new policy framework Jonathan Boston Judy Lawrence Abstract Adapting to climate change poses unprecedented technical, administrative and political challenges for which New Zealand’s current planning, regulatory and funding frameworks are illequipped. Without reform, they will deliver neither efficient nor equitable outcomes. Indeed, they will encourage governmental delay, incentivise sub-optimal solutions, increase future burdens, and reduce societal resilience.
Climate change: making decisions in the face of deep uncertainty
CORRESPONDENCE 21 April 2020 In our view, Zeke Hausfather and Glen Peters’s recommendation to assign a single set of best-estimate probabilities to all future emissions scenarios as a means to assess climate-change risks (Nature 577, 618–620; 2020) could give decision-makers a false sense of certainty, leading to costly adjustments if the world evolves in unanticipated ways.

Letter: Stop cutting library funding
The Ohio library budget for the whole state currently receives $119 million less than in 2001. In HB 49, the Public Library Fund (PLF) fiscal year 2017 will receive $24.6 million less than was authorized last year. In cities and small towns, the library provides many services for the people. It allows access to the internet for those with no computer or internet in their homes. It has books, movies, newspapers, magazines, classes and meeting rooms. It is the anchor in our communities.
Letter: Can we trust Hillary?
James Comey, director of the FBI, said Hillary Clinton was extremely careless with classified information. Hillary said she never sent or received classified information. Mr. Comey said 110 were marked classified at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained secret information and eight contained confidential. Secretary Clinton said she only used one device but used 13 different devices. Some were lost or smashed with a hammer.
