Resilience Platform

the challenge

Aotearoa New Zealand is significantly exposed to natural hazards and a changing climate.

To build our resilience to these challenges, experts, organisations, and communities need to work together on solutions.

Collaborative research, informed by real-world needs, can provide new knowledge and tools to strengthen our communities, homes and infrastructure.

About Us

We are a multi-institutional, collaborative research programme with a mission to accelerate our resilience to natural hazards.

With funding for seven years from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, we’re mobilising scientists, resources, agencies and communities from around the country to collectively innovate to address this challenge.
