Colonização aumenta os riscos climáticos para os Māori na Nova Zelândia, aponta relatório

Uma nova avaliação nacional mostra que a colonização aumentou a vulnerabilidade dos Māori a inundações, tempestades e erosão causadas pelo clima em Aotearoa, Nova Zelândia. O relatório recomenda uma maior inclusão do conhecimento e da autoridade Māori no planejamento de adaptação.

A Avaliação Nacional de Risco de Mudanças Climáticas de 2026, publicada no início deste mês, inclui um relatório complementar focado nas comunidades Māori. O documento afirma que a exclusão da tomada de decisões e o subinvestimento crônico intensificaram as desigualdades existentes em meio a temporadas de clima severo que bateram recordes nas duas ilhas do país. Os riscos climáticos agora ameaçam locais de reunião tribal, cemitérios e áreas de coleta de alimentos, ao mesmo tempo em que afetam empreendimentos de silvicultura, agricultura e aquicultura pertencentes a grupos Māori.
