In February 2023, as part of the ongoing response to extreme weather events in the North Island, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) reallocated $10.8 million for urgent scientific research and data collection. The funding was distributed across several different projects and is being coordinated by Climate Sigma and Resilience to Nature’s Challenges National Science Challenge.
