"If left unaddressed, many environmental changes in Aotearoa New Zealand could
threaten livelihoods, health, quality of life and infrastructure for
generations to come, according to the latest update on the state of the
environment.
The Ministry for the Environment and StatsNZ produce an environmental
assessment every three years, collating data and trends on air quality,
freshwater and marine environments, the land and climate.
The latest report shows that long-term drivers of change – including
international influences, economic demands and climate change – mean many
natural systems have become less resilient and are at risk of collapse. But it
also highlights improvements in urban air quality and reduced waste flows to
landfill."
