Kolonialisme tingkatkan risiko iklim bagi masyarakat Māori di Selandia Baru, menurut laporan

Sebuah penilaian nasional baru menunjukkan bahwa kolonialisme telah meningkatkan kerentanan masyarakat Māori terhadap banjir, badai, dan erosi yang dipicu oleh iklim di Aotearoa Selandia Baru. Laporan tersebut mendesak keterlibatan yang lebih besar dari pengetahuan dan otoritas Māori dalam perencanaan adaptasi.

Penilaian Risiko Perubahan Iklim Nasional 2026, yang dirilis awal bulan ini, menyertakan laporan pendamping yang berfokus pada komunitas Māori. Laporan tersebut menyatakan bahwa pengucilan dari pengambilan keputusan dan kurangnya investasi kronis telah memperparah kesenjangan yang ada di tengah musim cuaca buruk yang memecahkan rekor di dua pulau negara tersebut. Bahaya iklim kini mengancam tempat pertemuan suku, situs pemakaman, dan area pencarian makanan, sekaligus memengaruhi perusahaan kehutanan, pertanian, dan akuakultur yang dimiliki oleh kelompok Māori.
