PROJECT KĀINGA

Project Kāinga was a five-year research programme interested in how marae communities shape a future that builds community and environmental resilience in the face of climate change. We worked with six communities to develop tikanga-based, economic and community-relevant responses to climate change. It aimed to address other cross-generational issues like food sovereignty, water quality, energy security. The MBIE programme ran 2019–2024, work continues to progress community goals from the project.
