...so long as you don't live near the coastline :/

My impression of new Zealand is that it's mountainous, easy to move inland a short distance for the minority who would be effected.

Not many mountains here in Auckland, lots of volcanoes plus one major (and often choked) road in and out though.

Why?

My (very fuzzy) understanding is that NZ is going to be hit hard by global warming and rising sea levels during the next 50 years: https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/01/alarming-...

Auckland looks less concerning than places like London or New York. I have confidence that the NZ government will deal with it far better than uk or us
