Kolonialisering ökar maoriernas klimatrisker i Nya Zeeland, visar rapport

19 maj 2026

Rapporterad av AI

En ny nationell bedömning visar att kolonialisering har ökat maoriernas sårbarhet för klimatdrivna översvämningar, stormar och erosion i Aotearoa Nya Zeeland. Rapporten uppmanar till större inkludering av maorisk kunskap och auktoritet i anpassningsplaneringen.

Den nationella riskbedömningen för klimatförändringar 2026, som publicerades tidigare denna månad, innehåller en kompletterande rapport med fokus på maoriska samhällen. Den slår fast att exkludering från beslutsfattande och kroniska underinvesteringar har förstärkt befintliga ojämlikheter under rekordsvåra vädersäsonger över landets två öar. Klimatfaror hotar nu stammarnas mötesplatser, begravningsplatser och områden för matinsamling, samtidigt som de påverkar skogsbruk, jordbruk och vattenbruk som ägs av maoriska grupper.
