Vision

Deep and enduring relationships between Rural team researchers and stakeholders form a platform for world-leading rural disaster risk and resilience research.

Project description

The Rural programme is dedicated to finding innovative solutions for enhancing the resilience of rural Aotearoa New Zealand, to better protect these integral and potentially vulnerable communities and enable them to thrive in the face of natural hazard risks. Central to this approach is using and extending research co-creation approaches successfully tried and tested during Phase 1 of the Resilience Challenge (2015-2019).

We are:

  • Continuing to nurture and grow our key partnerships with the six South Island Civil Defence & Emergency Management groups who founded AF8 (Alpine Fault magnitude 8), various organisations involved in the Kaikōura earthquake recovery, and the Ministry for Primary Industries and the National Emergency Management Agency on national disaster policy.
  • Developing a new co-creation relationship centred on Taranaki Mounga and the central North Island, in partnership with the Volcanoes, Multihazard Risk, and Whanake te Kura I Tawhiti Nui programmes of the Resilience Challenge.
  • Striving to be a leading example of international best practice in disaster resilience researcher-stakeholder co-creation policy and practice leadership by leveraging new and existing partnerships to enable science ‘stretch’ and create opportunities for our research to have direct impact and uptake in practice.

This project will act as a coordinating entity to ensure best-practice co-creation approaches are undertaken by the Rural team and partners.
