Extreme weather events and impacts of climate change will continue to be felt across the globe having adverse effects on Indigenous populations who already grapple with the impacts of colonisation, land confiscation, occupation, racism and discrimination. For wh膩nau, hap奴 and iwi, the threat of climate change on our spiritual connection to whenua, wai and taonga is significant. It is a threat to our cultural and spiritual wellbeing that will increasingly impact M膩ori communities as we become more vulnerable to future environmental events. Given the existing inequities that M膩ori communities are faced with, their preparedness, response and recovery to natural phenomena are disadvantaged. Their ability to adapt to climate change requires grounded, connected and reflective approaches. This is to ensure community wellbeing is prioritised and, through a marae-centred approach, wh膩nau are prepared for future events and building resilience. This programme of research will explore both the physical and virtual marae as a key solution to building wh膩nau resilience. With a focus on climate change adaptation, preparedness, response and recovery, exploration of our marae (both physical and virtual) and their varying roles will be investigated to better understand how these two spaces are utilised during times of disaster and emergency to build wh膩nau resilience.
