The office of the Commissioner for the Environment of New Zealand's government ensured in a video conference that Urbia Group's expertise will be available in the future. The Commissioner works on the release of the second tome of a report focussing on the state of both awareness and preparedness of New Zealand's authorities concerning sea-level rise. Bernd shared his insight and how Urbia Groups Adaptive Urbanism can help to move forward. Bernd's advice has been sought for years, and Urbia Group will continue to assist with our visionary approach to make our country a global leader in smart strategies related to the challenge of Climate Change, which, according to UN-Secretary General Ban Ke Moon is the "single greatest long-term threat to our survival".
